Potassium Sorbate solution is as a food preservative and is effective in a variety of applications including food, and beverages. Potassium sorbate is used to inhibit moulds and yeast growth to increase shelf life.
Potassium Sorbate solution 50% w/v (E202) is brown solution free of particles.
Potassium sorbate is also known under the E-number E202 which is the potassium salt of sorbic acid.
Also known as a “cider or beer stabiliser”, potassium sorbate produces sorbic acid when added. This, in conjunction with metabisulphite, will inhibit the further growth of yeast.

Potassium sorbate addition is dependant upon several criteria including: pH; Concentration of SO2; Percentage alcohol by volume; concentration of sorbate and viable yeast cell count.
