Sodium sorbate

Description:
Sodium sorbate, with the CAS number 7757-81-5, is a sodium salt of sorbic acid, commonly used as a preservative in food and cosmetic products due to its antimicrobial properties. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is highly soluble in water, making it effective in various aqueous formulations. Sodium sorbate is known for its ability to inhibit the growth of molds, yeasts, and some bacteria, thereby extending the shelf life of products. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory agencies when used within specified limits. The substance is stable under normal conditions but can degrade when exposed to high temperatures or extreme pH levels. In addition to its preservative function, sodium sorbate is also utilized in the production of certain pharmaceuticals and as a flavoring agent in food. Its low toxicity profile and effectiveness make it a popular choice in various industries, although it is important to monitor its concentration to avoid potential adverse effects.
