:Calcium sorbate
Description:
Calcium sorbate is a chemical compound with the formula C18H34CaO4 and is primarily used as a food preservative. It is the calcium salt of sorbic acid, which is known for its antimicrobial properties, particularly against molds and yeasts. This compound appears as a white to off-white powder and is soluble in water, making it suitable for various applications in the food industry. Calcium sorbate is often utilized in products such as baked goods, dairy items, and beverages to extend shelf life and maintain freshness. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory agencies when used within specified limits. In addition to its preservative qualities, calcium sorbate is also valued for its low toxicity and minimal impact on flavor and color, making it a preferred choice in food preservation. However, as with any additive, it is important to monitor its usage to ensure compliance with food safety regulations and consumer health standards.
