Potassium sorbate is the potassium salt of sorbic acid, available in the form of white or slightly cream-coloured granules. The product is characterised by a neutral taste and lack of odour, which facilitates its use in food recipes.

The E202 preservative additive is distinguished by its high purity and thermal stability – it does not change colour even when heated. Thanks to these properties, it is widely used in the production of foods that require protection against the growth of microorganisms.
