It has strong inhibition of spoilage bacteria and mold, and is easily soluble in water and widely used. Its antibacterial effect is stronger than the bactericidal effect, the lower the PH value, the stronger the antibacterial effect. Potassium sorbate (potassium) can effectively inhibit the activity of mold, yeast and aerobic bacteria, and prevent the growth and reproduction of harmful microorganisms such as botulinum, staphylococcus, Salmonella, etc., but it is almost ineffective for beneficial microorganisms such as anaerobic bacillus and Lactobacillus acidophilus, and its inhibiting effect is stronger than bactericidal effect, so as to effectively extend the preservation time of food. And maintain the flavor of the original food. Its anti-corrosion effect is 5-10 times that of similar products sodium benzoate. It can also be used as a cosmetic preservative.
