What is Sorbic Acid? Sorbic Acid (chemical formula C₆H₆O₂) is a naturally occurring organic compound that appears as a white crystalline solid. It is slightly soluble in water but highly soluble in alcohol and ether. Sorbic Acid is also known by alternate names such as 2,4-Hexadienoic Acid or Trans-2,4-Hexadienoic Acid. It is widely used as a preservative in food and cosmetics due to its antimicrobial properties, particularly against moulds, yeasts, and fungi. Sorbic Acid is valued for its ability to extend shelf life, enhance product stability, and maintain the quality of various products in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
