SORBIC ACID

Description

Sorbic Acid, or 2,4-hexadienoic acid, is a natural organic compound used as a food preservative. The chemical formula is C6H8O2. It is a colourless solid that is slightly soluble in water and sublimes readily. It was first isolated from the unripe berries of the rowan tree (Sorbus aucuparia), hence its name.

As colorless acicular crystal or white crystalline powder, Sorbic Acidis soluble in water and can be used asPreservatives. Sorbic Acid can be widely used as food ingredient or food additive in our daily life. Sorbic Acid is mainly used in food, beverages, tobacco, pesticides, cosmetics and other industries. As an unsaturated acid, it also can be used in resins, spices and rubber industry.

1. Widely used in food, beverage, pickles, tobacco, medicine, cosmetics, agricultural products and other industries. Also used in preservatives, fungicides, insecticide preparation and synthetic rubber industry. Inhibitors of mold and yeast. Food antifungal agent. Dry oil denaturant. Fungicide.

2. Sorbic acid and potassium sorbate are the most widely used preservatives in the world. They have high antibacterial properties, inhibit the growth and reproduction of molds, inhibit the growth of microorganisms and prevent corrosion by inhibiting the dehydrogenase system in microorganisms. It has an inhibitory effect on mold, yeast and many good bacteria, but it is almost ineffective against anaerobic spore forming bacteria and Lactobacillus acidophilus. It is widely used in the preservation of foods such as cheese, yoghurt and other cheese products, bread snack products, beverages, juices, jams, pickles and fish products.

We also have other dehydrated potato products: Dehydrated Potato Dice and Dehydrated Potato Flakes. Please feel free to contact us for details. Potato starch is starch extracted from potatoes. The cells of the root tubers of the potato plant contain starch grains (leucoplasts). To extract the starch, the potatoes are crushed; the starch grains are released from the destroyed cells. The starch is then washed out and dried to powder. Potato starch contains typical large oval spherical granules; their size ranges between 5 and 100 μm. Potato starch is a very refined starch, containing minimal protein or fat. This gives the powder a clear white colour, and the cooked starch typical characteristics of neutral taste, good clarity, high binding strength, long texture and a minimal tendency to foaming or yellowing of the solution. Potato starch contains approximately 800 ppm phosphate bound to the starch; this increases the viscosity and gives the solution a slightly anionic character, a low gelatinisation temperature (approximately 140 °F (60 °C) and high swelling power. These typical properties are used in food and technical applications. Starch derivatives are used in many recipes, for example in noodles, wine gums, cocktail nuts, potato chips, hot dog sausages, bakery cream and instant soups and sauces, in gluten-free recipes[3] in kosher foods for Passover[4] and in Asian cuisine.[5] In pastry, e.g. sponge cake, it is used to keep the cake moist and give a soft texture. It is also occasionally used in the preparation of pre-packed grated cheese, to reduce sweating and binding. Other examples are helmipuuro a porridge made from monodisperse grains of potato starch and milk, papeda, the Moluccan community in the Netherlands use potato starch to make papeda, soul food of the Moluccan Archipelago (East-Indonesia). On the Moluccan islands they use sago flour to make the original papeda. Papeda is also eaten by the Papuan people of New Guinea. It is also used in technical applications as wallpaper adhesive, for textile finishing and textile sizing, in paper coating and sizing and as an adhesive in paper sacks and gummed tape. Potato starch was also used in one of the earlier color photography processes, the Lumière brothers' Autochrome Lumière, until the arrival of colour film in the mid-1930s.

As a food Preservatives, it is listed as E number 282 in the Codex Alimentarius. Calcium Propionate is used as a preservative in a wide variety of products, including but not limited to bread, other baked goods, processed meat, whey, and other dairy products. In agriculture, it is used, amongst other things, to prevent milk fever in cows and as a feed supplement Propionates prevent microbes from producing the energy they need, like benzoates do. However, unlike benzoates, propionates do not require an acidic environment. Calcium propionate is used in bakery products as a mold inhibitor, typically at 0.1-0.4% (though animal feed may contain up to 1%). Mold contamination is considered a serious problem amongst bakers, and conditions commonly found in baking present near-optimal conditions for mold growth. Calcium propionate (along with propionic acid andSodium Propionate) is used as a preservative in bread and other baked goods. It also occurs naturally in butter and some types of cheese. Calcium propionate keeps bread and baked goods from spoiling by preventing mold and bacterial growth. Although you may be concerned about the idea of preservative use in food, on the flip-side, you certainly don want to eat bacteria- or mold-infested bread.

Agar agar, polysaccharide extracted from seaweed, is one of the world’s most versatile seaweed gels. It is widely used in many fields such as food industry, pharmaceutical industry, daily chemicals, and biological engineerin. It can be used to make jellies, puddings and custards. For making jelly, it is boiled in water until the solids dissolve. One then adds sweetener, flavouring, colouring, fruit or vegetables, and pours the liquid into molds to be served as desserts and vegetable aspics, or incorporated with other desserts, such as a jelly layer on a cake. Agar-agar is approximately 80% fiber, so it can serve as an intestinal regulator. Its bulk quality is behind one of the latest fad diets in Asia, the kanten diet. Once ingested, kanten triples in size and absorbs water. This results in the consumer feeling more full. Recently this diet has received some press coverage in the United States as well. The diet has shown promise in obesity studies.

Sodium Diacetate is a molecular compound of acetic acid and sodium acetate. According to a patent, free acetic acid is built into the crystal lattice of neutral sodium acetate. The acid is firmly held as is evident from the negligible odor of the product. In solution it is split off into its constituents acetic acid and sodium acetate. As a buffering agent, sodium diacetate is applied in meat products to control their acidity. Apart from that, sodium diacetate inhibits the growth of various microorganisms usually found in meat products, thus it can be used as a preservative and safeguard for food safety and shelf life extension. Moreover, sodium diacetate can be used as a flavoring agent, applied as a powdered seasoning, to impart a vinegar taste to meat products.
