Sorbic Acid Powder
Description
Premium Sorbic Acid Powder – Certified Food & Cosmetic Grade Preservative
Shaanxi Nuoyuan Biotech Co., Ltd. delivers 99% pure Sorbic Acid Powder (CAS 110-44-1), a globally trusted preservative for food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. We have more than 15 years of OEM/ODM expertise. We have an annual processing capacity of 20,000 tonnes, ensuring constant supply and consistent quality. We have a 30,000㎡ ISO 9001 accredited facility with 5 HPLC testing equipment to assure every batch is pure and safe.
It is a white, free flowing crystalline powder with wide range antibacterial activity against moulds, yeasts and bacteria. It melts at 132-135°C and is effective up to pH 6.5. It preserves freshness without affecting the taste or odour of the product and so is most suitable for moisture sensitive and high temperature applications.

What Is Sorbic Acid Powder?
chemically the product is 2,4-hexadienoic acid, a naturally occurring organic molecule that has long been well acknowledged as a gold-standard preservative. It belongs to the polyunsaturated fatty acids and has a strong antibacterial activity against moulds, yeasts, and fungi.
It will not dramatically change the flavour, colour or odour of your finished product like many synthetic substitutes. It is thus a recommended option for clean-label compositions. As with other fatty acids, it is metabolised by the human body, leaving no hazardous behind – which is an important consideration for today’s B2B customers who are focused on safety and compliance.
It addresses the key issues of oxidative instability and microbiological deterioration in high-moisture applications, from drinks and baked products to cosmetics.

Core Advantages of Our Sorbic Acid Powder
Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Action
Our product may successfully suppress moulds, yeasts and certain bacteria up to a pH of 6.5. This is higher than benzoic acid, allowing you greater freedom in formulation. It also performs under demanding wet conditions without any loss of performance.
Excellent thermal stability
The preservative is still active after exposure to high temperature procedures like baking or pasteurisation. This implies that your product is safeguarded throughout its shelf life, from manufacture to the point of usage by the customer.
Low Toxicity & Clean Label
It has GRAS (Generally Recognised As Safe) with FDA and E200 approval in the EU, which helps your clean-label agenda. Consumers trust it since it is metabolised naturally and leaves no hazardous residues.
Versatile Solubility Profile
Sorbic Acid Powder is sparingly soluble in water but strongly soluble in ethanol and glycols allowing it to be adapted to aqueous and solvent based formulations. It’s versatile and may be used in drinks, creams, lotions and coatings.
Industrial Applications Across Complex Scenarios
Food & Beverage Industry
You may add our powder to cheese, baked items, fruit juices, wine, jams and dried fruits. Extends shelf life from days to weeks without changing flavour or odour. It inhibits mould formation in the manufacture of high-moisture bread and cake, even after weeks of storage.
Pharmaceutical Formulations
