    Medicinal grade potassium sorbate cas509-00-01 use potassium sorbate, also known as potassium 2,4-adipenoate, is the potassium salt of sorbic acid, the molecular formula is C6H7O2K, white to light yellow scaly crystals, crystal particles or crystal powder, odorless or slightly odorous, long-term exposure to the air is easy to absorb moisture, is oxidative decomposition and discoloration
    .

    Soluble in water, soluble in propylene glycol and ethanol
    .

    Often used as a preservative, it is widely used
    by binding to the thiol group of the microbial enzyme system to disrupt many enzyme systems, which are far less toxic than other preservatives.

    Potassium sorbate can give full play to its antiseptic effect in acidic media, and under neutral conditions, it is a small white to light yellow scaly crystal, crystalline powder or granular
    .

    Odorless or slightly odorous
    .

    Long-term storage in the air is easy to absorb moisture and oxidative decomposition and coloring
    .

    The relative density (d2025) is 1.
    363
    .

    The melting point is 270°C (decomposition).


    It is easily soluble in water (67.
    6g/100ml, 20°C), 5% table salt water (47.
    5g/100ml, Chemicalbook room temperature), 25% granulated sugar water (5lg/100ml, room temperature).


    Soluble in propylene glycol (5.
    8g/100m1), ethanol (0.
    3g/100m1
    ).

    The Ph value of a 1% aqueous solution is 7 to 8
    .

    Some inhibit the action of bacteria and mold, 【Properties】 This product is white or white-like scaly or granular crystalline or crystalline powder
