Application of potassium sorbate in wine

Potassium sorbate was discovered by the French from the mountain ash tree in 1850. Today, this preservative is more of a man-made synthetic product. It can prevent many foods from decomposing and rotting. Foods purchased from supermarkets are often difficult to store for a long time if they do not contain potassium sorbate. In addition, it can reduce the risk of disease transmission by inhibiting the growth of food microorganisms.

It is also common for winemakers to add potassium sorbate during the winemaking process. Most are used in sweet wine, sparkling wine and cider. It is sometimes added to bulk wine in restaurants to help maintain transparency. This preservative inhibits the activity of residual yeast to prevent further fermentation and stabilize product quality. But wine drinkers rarely come into contact with it, because they are removed with a filter before giving it to consumers.

Our company-Jiyou Industries Co.Ltd. has been focusing on the production and research of food additives and feed additives. At present, the main products are potassium sorbate, benzoic acid and so on. If you need to buy products, please contact our sales staff.
