Sorbic acid, or 2,4-hexadienoic acid, is a natural organic compound used as a food preservative. It has the chemical formula C 6 H 8 O 2. It is a colourless solid that is slightly soluble in water and sublimes readily.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Potassium sorbate is the potassium salt of sorbic acid, chemical formula CH 3 CH=CH-CH=CH-CO 2 K. It is a white salt that is very soluble in water (58.2% at 20 Â°C). It is primarily used as a food preservative (E number 202). Potassium sorbate is effective in a variety of applications including food, wine, and personal care products. While sorbic acid is naturally occurring in some berries, virtually all of the world's production of sorbic acid, from which potassium sorbate is derived, is manufactured synthetically.
