Sorbic Acid 1kg (E200) – Effective Preservative for Food and Cosmetic Products
Sorbic Acid 1kg (E200) is a high-quality and widely used preservative that helps extend the shelf life of various products while preventing the growth of mold, yeast, and bacteria. Sorbic acid is an organic compound primarily used in the food industry, but it is also commonly used in cosmetics and chemical products.
Due to its antimicrobial properties, sorbic acid is one of the most popular food additives used as a preservative. It works most effectively in environments where the pH is below 6.5, helping maintain product freshness and quality. Sorbic acid is known as the food additive E200 and is valued for its effectiveness and safety.

Frequently asked questions about this product
What is the recommended dosage of sorbic acid for wine preservation?
Typical usage is 100-200 mg/L (ppm) for wines, usually combined with potassium metabisulfite (SO2) for maximum effectiveness. The exact dosage depends on the wine pH — lower pH wines require less sorbic acid. Always measure pH and consult winemaking references for your specific wine style.
Can sorbic acid stop an active fermentation?
No. Sorbic acid is a growth inhibitor, not a yeast killer. It prevents remaining yeast from reproducing but does not kill active yeast cells. You must first stabilize the wine (rack off sediment, add sulfite, cold crash) and then add sorbic acid to prevent refermentation after back-sweetening.
Why should sorbic acid always be used together with SO2?
Without adequate free SO2, certain lactic acid bacteria can metabolize sorbic acid into 2-ethoxyhexa-3,5-diene (sorbyl alcohol), producing a geranium-like off-flavor. Maintaining at least 25-30 ppm free SO2 when using sorbic acid prevents this defect entirely.
Is this product suitable for use in food production beyond winemaking?
Yes. Sorbic acid (E200) is a widely approved food preservative effective against molds and yeasts. It is used in baked goods, cheese, dried fruits, and cosmetic products. Always verify that your application complies with local food additive regulations and maximum permitted levels.
How should sorbic acid be stored for maximum shelf life?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight in the sealed original packaging. Properly stored, sorbic acid has a long shelf life. Avoid moisture exposure as it can cause clumping. FERMETECH recommends using within the stated best-before date for optimal potency.
