One of the most widely used food preservatives in the world is sorbic acid. Sorbic acid is a naturally occurring compound and is used on a global scale. It is highly effective in preventing mold growth, which spoils food and spreads deadly diseases. For example, if sorbic acid is sprayed on the outside of a ham, there will be no mold growth for 30 days. In this way, foodstuffs are easily transported and stored all over the world.
Sorbic acid is a more preferred preservative than nitrates, which form carcinogenic by-products. When applying to food, it is sprayed with a solution of sorbic acid and water or the food is dipped in this compound.
Sorbic acid is most commonly found in foods, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics . Among foods, the most common sources of sorbic acid include wines, cheeses, baked goods, fresh produce, and chilled meats and shellfish.
Sorbic acid is used to preserve meats due to its natural antibiotic properties. Its use saves lives by preventing the growth of bacteria and fungi, while ensuring safe transportation and storage of meat.
