Potassium Sorbate is a widely used food preservative that helps prevent the growth of mold, yeast, and some bacteria. It is a salt derived from sorbic acid and is often found in various food products, including cheeses, baked goods, and beverages. Its effectiveness in extending shelf life makes it a popular choice in the food industry. In addition to food, Potassium Sorbate is also used in cosmetics and personal care products to maintain freshness. It is considered safe for consumption and is approved by regulatory agencies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), when used within specified limits.
