What is sorbic acid?
Sorbic acid has the form of white crystals and, a molecular formula: C6H8O6.
Uses?
Sorbic acid is an effective preservative that can inhibit the activity of molds, yeasts, and bacteria, inhibiting the growth and reproduction of some dangerous microorganisms such as pseudomonas, staphylococcus, and salmonella. Sorbic acid allows food to be stored longer while preserving the original flavor of the food.
Used as a nutritional factor.
Is Sorbic Acid safe?
Sorbic Acid is highly safe. It can be quickly absorbed by the human body, then decomposed into CO 2 and H 2 O, and does not remain in the body. Besides, Sorbic Acid is highly stable in a sealed state, it will not decompose until a temperature of 270 0 C. In case of exposure to air for a long time, it will be oxidized. metabolism and moisture absorption.

A pH below 6.5 is ideal for antibacterial activity. However, adding sorbate can slightly alter the pH of the food, so it may be necessary to control the pH first. and after adding.
Mechanism
Undissociated sorbic acid molecules are lipophilic and will penetrate the plasma membrane and then enter the fungal cell. The higher pH environment of the filamentous fungal cell cytoplasm (about pH 7.8 in A. niger) promotes rapid dissociation of acidic molecules into charged protons and anions. At this time, intracellular acidification of the fungal cell cytoplasm takes place due to the accumulation of protons, which will inhibit important metabolic activities related to glycolysis and thus inhibit production. ATP inhibits their growth. Sorbic acid reduces intracellular pH and thus reduces proton motive force (p) which can also lead to reduced amino acid uptake by fungal cells, inhibiting their growth.
