Potassium Sorbate

Potassium sorbate is used to inhibit molds and yeasts in many foods, such as cheese, wine, yogurt, dried meats, apple cider and baked goods. It can also be found in the ingredients list of many dried fruit products. It is primarily used with sweet wines, sparkling wines, and some hard ciders but may be added to table wines that exhibit difficulty in maintaining clarity after fining. Potassium sorbate is the most widely used preservative in the world.
