Sorbic Acid production process (Reference)
Sorbic Acid production processes from a polyester obtained by the reaction of ketene and use Crotonaldehyde with zinc salts of organic acid as a catalyst, which comprises the polyester dissolved in hydrocarbon solvent, water-soluble from 92 ° to 100 ° C., after washing with water or acid polyester filter to remove zinc and continued exposure to the strong acid solution, ion exchange, the process is simple and profitable. Sorbic acid can limit the performance of mold, yeast and bacteria Aerophile. Impeding the growth and reproduction of harmful microorganisms such as Pseudomonas, Sorbic Acid prolong food storage and still retains the original. It is used as a food preservative.
