Sorbate Solution

Sorbate solution is a pre-dissolved aqueous potassium sorbate concentrate or ready-use dip for surface treatment of cheese, dried fruit, and intermediate-moisture goods. Liquid dosing avoids undissolved crystals and suits spray or soak steps on packing lines. Strength must be labelled and verified—weak solutions under-preserve; strong ones can taste soapy. Keep closed to limit contamination and evaporation. Use within process windows for pH and product water activity.
