Sorbic Acid

Sorbic Acid

Sorbic acid is a highly effective food preservative and antimicrobial agent used globally to inhibit mold, yeast, and bacteria growth in beverages, baked goods, and processed foods. Its white crystalline powder form with 99% minimum purity (CAS 110-44-1) makes it ideal for extending shelf life while maintaining product safety.

Slightly soluble in water but freely soluble in ethanol, it works optimally in acidic environments (pH <6.5). With melting point of 132–135°C and minimal heavy metals, it supports compliance with food safety standards and regulatory requirements.

Sr. No. Description Specification
1 Purity 99% minimum
2 Chemical Formula C₆H₈O₂
3 Form White crystalline powder or granule
4 Country of origin India
5 Quantities 25 kg fiber drums or cartons, bulk kg options available
  • White crystalline powder with density approximately 1.204 g/cm³ and characteristic odor; melting point 132–135°C.

  • Slightly soluble in water but freely soluble in ethanol and ether; effective antimicrobial in acidic conditions below pH 6.5.

  • Molecular weight 112.1 g/mol; low moisture (0.5% max) and minimal ash (0.2% max) ensure high chemical purity.

  • Non-combustible, chemically stable inorganic compound with 2-year shelf life under proper storage conditions.

  • Primary food preservative inhibiting mold and yeast in fruit juices, beverages, fermented products, and acidic foods.

  • Baked goods and pastry additive extending shelf life and preventing spoilage during storage and distribution.

  • Pharmaceutical stabilizer and antioxidant in formulations requiring preservation and shelf-life extension.

  • Cosmetic additive for product preservation and prevention of microbial contamination in creams and lotions.

  • Food-grade quality compliant with IP/BP/USP standards; low aldehydes (≤0.15%), heavy metals (≤10 ppm), and water content.

  • Store in a cool, dry place within tightly sealed containers away from direct sunlight and moisture for optimal stability.

  • Dust may cause irritation to the eyes and respiratory tract; use appropriate PPE and ensure good ventilation during handling.

  • Stable solution; follow recommended dosage levels for food applications to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
