Market Overview

Sorbic acid (2, 4-hexadienoic acid) and its mineral salts are naturally occurring organic compounds primarily used as food preservative. Sorbic acid was first isolated from the unripe berries of Sorbus Aucuparia. Sorbic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid exhibiting inhibitory effects against molds, yeasts, and bacteria involving most food borne pathogens.

It is used in almost all kinds of foods owing to its anti-fungus and anti-decomposition function and also in medicines, grains, toothpaste, cosmetics, tobacco, latex, animal feed, paper manufacturing and pesticides. Sorbic acid is also used in wine making along with sulphur dioxide which assists conversion of sorbic acid to alcohol and thus negating the foul smell of ether.
