Sorbic acid, molecular formula: C6H8O2, is a white crystalline powder. It is insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol and other organic solvents. When using, it must be dissolved in ethanol or potassium bisulfate.
Potassium sorbate, molecular formula: C6H7KO2, is obtained by neutralization reaction of sorbic acid with potassium carbonate or potassium hydroxide. Its appearance is colorless to white flake crystal or crystalline powder, easily soluble in water and ethanol.

Sorbic acid &potassium sorbate are mainly used as food preservatives. At present, it is an effective and safe preservative recommended by FAO and WHO. It can be absorbed by the body’s metabolic system and quickly decomposed into carbon dioxide and water. In addition, it has no residue in human body, and its toxic and side effects are only 1 / 2 of common salt and 1 / 4 of sodium benzoate, and its antiseptic effect is 7 times of that of sodium benzoate. This product is widely used in food, beverage, tobacco, medicine, cosmetics, agricultural products, pet and poultry feed, as well as resin, spice and rubber industries.

Based on the advanced technology at home and abroad, JINNENG has continuously developed and innovated its own unique production technology with excellent and stable quality and competitive cost. At present, we have established long-term strategic cooperation with some famous enterprises including Pepsi Cola, Unilever, Coca Cola, Mars, Heinz, which have been widely recognized by customers. In particular, spherical potassium sorbate makes JINNENG the only supplier of high-quality product in China.
The usage of spherical potassium sorbate produced by JINNENG is exactly the same as that of column potassium, and there is no need to change the process and formula, but it is more uniform, convenient and fast to use in dry mixing and compound materials. Because the whole production process is completely closed, spherical potassium sorbate has less impurities, high purity, moisture resistance, no dust, anti caking, no yellowing, large specific gravity and strong fluidity, which is suitable for a variety of packaging forms.
