Sorbic acid History

SORBIC ACID was first isolated from the unripe berries of the Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia), hence its name.

Sorbic acid Uses

Sorbic acid (CAS NO.110-44-1) and its mineral salts, such as sodium sorbate, potassium sorbate and calcium sorbate, are antimicrobial agents often used as preservatives in food and drinks to prevent the growth of mold, yeast and fungi.
Sorbic acid (CAS NO.110-44-1) is also used as a bio descaling agent.
