Hangzhou Sanhe USA Sorbic Acid

Hangzhou Sanhe USA Sorbic Acid is an unsaturated fatty acid. It has inhibitory activity against a wide spectrum of yeasts, molds and bacteria, including most food-borne pathogens. Its inhibitory activity depends upon the pH of the substrate; the upper limit for activity is pH6.5 in most applications and the degree of activity increases as the pH decreases. It has more promising effectiveness of inhibitory activity than benzoic acid.
