Potassium (E,E)-Hexa-2,4-Dienoate, Potassium Salt of 2,4-Hexadienoic Acid, E202

Cas Number : 24634-61-5
EC Number : 246-376-1

Monarch Chemicals are a leading UK bulk supplier of potassium sorbate (European Food Additive number  E202). Available packed in both powder and granular form. 

Potassium sorbate is an odourless and tasteless synthetically produced salt.

A white powder (also available from Monarch in granular form) it is the potassium salt of sorbic acid and used primarily as an ingredient in processed foods to slow the growth of moulds and yeasts.

Potassium sorbate is a popular additive in foods such as dried meats, soft drinks, cheeses, rehydrated fruits and baked goods as it inhibits and slows the growth of mould and yeast without altering the appearance and qualities of a product such as smell, taste and colour. These properties are extremely useful, particularly in the production of wine, to stop fermentation from occurring longer than required.

Possessing excellent antimicrobial properties, it is also used as a preservative in many personal care and cosmetic items such as moisturisers, make-up, body washes and shampoo.
