Barely soluble in water (about 1% at 20°C, and 4% at 90°C). Somewhat better soluble in plant oils and propylene glycol (1% at 20°C and 10% at 90°C).CAS: 110-44-1INCI Name: Sorbic acidBenefits: - Has antimicrobial activity against molds, yeast and aerophile bacteria - Effective in a wide pH range of 2.5-7 - Kosher gradeUse: Typical concentration 0.05-0.3% (if used alone) or 0.05-0.15% (if used in combination with other preservatives).
