Sorbic acid Application

1 sorbic acid in alcohol and beverages .
( 1 ) add 200-300 mg of potassium sorbate and 20-40 milligrams of alcohol per liter of sulfur dioxide in foods .
( 2 ) Soda drinks : 0.03% -0.04 % according to the ratio of addition of sorbic acid .
( 3 ) fresh orange juice, hawthorn juice drinks : 0.02% according to the proportion of added sorbic acid, shelf life can be extended to six months.
( 4 ) Other types of non -alcoholic drinks : 0.04% -0.05 % according to the ratio of addition of sorbic acid .
In the production of sweet wines , sorbic acid is often used as a preservative in use. Sorbic acid antibacterial effect only in synergy sulfur dioxide will play a greater role . Allows the use of sorbic acid in the national standards , but should pay attention to in the course of the highest limits , not excessive . Also, pay attention to the relationship between sorbic acid and sulfur dioxide, alcohol , and to maximize the preservative sorbic acid . Sorbic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid , non-toxic , can be completely absorbed . It has a special role in the anti- yeast , a fungus inhibitor stable ; its ability to inhibit the propagation of wine yeast , is more efficient in the inhibition of the absence of air ; can inhibit the ability of the yeast fermentation of sugar without killing them. National standard ” wine ” in the provisions of GB15037-2006 the maximum allowable amount of 200mg / L, inspection agencies at all levels can be detected in the presence of sorbic acid and measured its dosage . But note that some countries do not allow the import of sorbic acid -treated wine , therefore , in the production of export products must pay attention and understand clearly . Sorbic acid resistant yeast capacity because of the presence of ethanol and greatly strengthened, but the low solubility of sorbic acid . We in the actual production process, often encounter situations using potassium sorbate . The author is in accordance with the standards prescribed amount of sorbic acid , potassium sorbate converted into dose , the wine has been filtered sterilization recommended dose of sorbic acid or potassium sorbate are listed according to the different requirements of alcohol under the table , for colleagues to use the reference .
Note that regardless of the number of doses used , sorbic acid bacteria are not resistant effect. Although it can prevent further fermentation of sweet wine , but it can not prevent contamination of wine acetic acid bacteria , lactic acid bacteria can not prevent contamination of wine . When sorbic acid disappears, the risk of bacterial contamination will be doubled , then, the wine has an unpleasant odor , similar to bay leaves greasy , because ethylene glycol has been generated . Sorbic acid in the case of only a certain concentration of ethanol in the presence of sulfur dioxide , in order to exhibit satisfactory results. It can enhance the effect of the latter , but never replace them . The solubility of sorbic acid in water is not very large, it is higher than the soluble form of potassium sorbate . 270g / L solution contains potassium sorbate 200g / L sorbic acid. Due to the low solubility of sorbic acid , when added to the wine must be careful to slowly added , with vigorous stirring , mixed thoroughly using a circulation pump . In the following conditions , sorbic acid can inhibit the activation of yeast in wine :
1 ) According to the wine ‘s alcohol content and acidity using a sufficient amount .
2 ) Wine has to be treated carefully clarified , has done an effective sterilization filter .
3 ) Mixed with wine quickly and completely .
4 ) After the treatment , the free sulfur content of the wine is generally 60mg/L-80mg/L, sufficient to prevent oxidation and bacterial growth.
