Specifically, it is the crystalline salt of sorbic acid, also a food preservative. It is used to preserve such foods as cheese, wine, meats and dried fruits. It also helps inhibit the growth of yeast and mold in some herbal supplements and many cosmetic and personal care items, extending shelf life. Having a toxicity level comparable to table salt, it is generally considered safe for consumption; side effects are very rare but may include mild allergic reactions or nausea. 收起 | |

Propanoic acid inhibits the growth of mold and some bacteria at the levels between 0.1 and 1% by weight. Primarily used as a preservative in baked goods, which use the sodium and calcium salts. As a food additive, it is approved for use in the EU, USA and Australia and New Zealand. It is listed by its INS number (280) or E number E280. 收起 | |

Sodium benzoate is a common ingredient in highly processed foods such as carbonated sodas, vinegar, fruit juices; in mixed ingredients like salad dressings; and to stop the fermentation process in wines. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Health Protection Branch in Canada (HPB) report that in low doses it is safe for consumption, currently the FDA permits a maximum of 0.1% benzoate in foods. On its own, it is not considered toxic, and studies show no adverse health effects in humans under normal conditions. 收起 | |

It is a colourless solid that is slightly soluble in water and sublimes readily. Sorbic acid and its salts, such as sodium sorbate, potassium sorbate, and calcium sorbate, are antimicrobial agents often used as preservatives in food and drinks to prevent the growth of mold, yeast, and fungi. In general the salts are preferred over the acid form because they are more soluble in water, but it is the acid form that is active. Adding sorbate salts to food will, however, raise the pH of the food slightly so the pH may need to be adjusted to assure safety. It is found in many foods, such as cheeses and breads. 收起 |
