Description

Potassium Sorbate FCC

Potassium Sorbate FCC is a high-purity, water-soluble potassium salt used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food applications as a preservative, antimicrobial agent, and stabilizer. As an FCC-grade material, it helps prevent microbial growth, maintain product shelf life, and ensure formulation stability across various dosage forms and food products. Potassium Sorbate
• Is a Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) compliant potassium salt
• Is used as a preservative and antimicrobial agent in pharmaceutical and food systems
• Supports product stability, shelf life, and pH-controlled formulations
• Is suitable for oral, topical, and liquid formulations as well as food and beverage applications
• Is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) conditions
• Is supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and technical data
Potassium Sorbate FCC appears as a white crystalline powder or granules that are highly soluble in water. It functions as a safe, effective preservative by inhibiting the growth of yeast, mold, and some bacteria, particularly under acidic conditions.
In pharmaceutical and food applications, Potassium Sorbate FCC is used in:
• Oral solutions, syrups, and suspensions to inhibit microbial contamination
• Topical gels, creams, and liquid formulations for extended stability
• Nutraceutical products and dietary supplements requiring antimicrobial protection
• Food and beverage formulations to prevent spoilage and maintain quality
• pH-controlled systems where preservative efficacy is essential
Potassium Sorbate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for human consumption and is widely used in products where microbial control is essential without affecting flavor, texture, or efficacy.
CarboMer supplies Potassium Sorbate FCC with control over assay, water content, particle size, and microbial purity. Material meets FCC standards and is suitable for use in regulated pharmaceutical and food applications.
The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers. Available in laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale volumes. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and documentation including CoA and SDS are provided upon request.
Each batch is tested for identity (IR, UV), assay (potassium sorbate content), moisture content, pH, and microbial limits. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.
As with all CarboMer food- and pharmaceutical-grade excipients, Potassium Sorbate FCC is supported by formulation expertise, regulatory guidance, and reliable global supply to ensure safe, effective, and consistent product development.
