I will introduce you in the following 1 Application in wine and beverage: (1) add 200-300mg potassium sorbate and 20-40mg sulfur dioxide to each liter of alcohol food (2) Soda drinks: add sorbic acid in the proportion of 0.03% - 0.04% (3) Fresh orange juice, hawthorn juice and other drinks: add sorbic acid in the proportion of 0.02% (4) Other non-alcoholic drinks: add sorbic acid in the proportion of 0.04% - 0.05% 2 application in soy sauce, soy sauce products and pickles: (1) soy sauce: adding sorbic acid according to the proportion of 0.01% and placing it for 70 days in high temperature season can prevent the soy sauce from moldy deterioration (2) Sauce products: because this kind of food is relatively thick, sorbic acid is not easy to disperse evenly Users can add sorbic acid solution of corresponding concentration under heating condition before product filling (3) Pickle with soy sauce: sorbic acid can be dissolved in glacial acetic acid, and then added into pickle, the amount of which is within 1.0k/kg, and the pH value is controlled between 4.0-4.5 (4) Pickle with distiller's grains: the sorbic acid can be dissolved in ethanol, cooking wine or cooking wine, and then added into pickle, with the amount of 0.75-1k/kg (5) Vinegar pickle: sorbic acid is directly added into the material, with the addition amount of 0.5k/kg (6) Pickled cucumber, beetroot and other pickles: add proper amount of potassium sorbate (0.1% of salt) to the vinegar containing salt In order to prevent the turbidity of pickled salt water, salt, spices and potassium sorbate can be dissolved in water first, and then vinegar can be added (7) Pickle: the dosage of potassium sorbate is 0.05% - 0.07% Mix potassium sorbate and salt evenly, and then put them into pickles 3 Application in aquatic products (1) fish cake food: the pH value of fish cake products is between 6.8 and 7.2 (2) Fish sausage: add a mixture of sorbic acid and potassium sorbate to the fish sausage according to the dosage of 0.1% - 0.2% The sausage will not go bad when stored at 30 ℃ for two weeks, while the control sample will go bad after one week (3) Dried fish products: this kind of food has a high degree of drying Dried fish products with water content less than 30% generally will not have bacterial corruption, but will have mildew Adding sorbic acid can effectively prevent the occurrence of mildew in dried fish products The dosage of sorbic acid is 1.0k/kg (4) Smoked fish products: spray 5% - 10% potassium sorbate solution on smoked fish products The spraying process can be carried out before, during or after smoking (5) Fish and shrimp cooked in soy sauce: this kind of food with 0.1% sorbic acid added (6) Fresh fish, shrimp and other aquatic products: wash the fresh fish and other aquatic products, immerse them in the fresh-keeping solution containing sorbic acid for 20 seconds, then drain the solution and refrigerate the fish The preservative solutions were 1.0% - 5.0% sorbic acid, 1.0% - 20% glycerol, 0.3% - 3.0% polyvinyl alcohol, and the rest were water 4 Application in meat products and sausages: (1) dried meat, dried sausages, smoked ham and other similar dried meat products can be soaked in 5% - 15% potassium sorbate solution for 30 seconds (2) Beef sausage, pork sausage and pig beef mixed sausage: sorbic acid can be added at the dosage of 0.05% - 0.08% in the meat cutting process After the sausage is made, potassium sorbate solution with a concentration of 5% can be sprayed on the surface of the sausage (3) General meat: first add sorbic acid or potassium sorbate to the meat according to the dosage of 0.05% - 0.1%, then add C10 or C12 fatty acid glycerate according to the dosage of 0.01% - 0.5% In addition, potassium nitrite and sodium hexametaphosphate were added to the meat (4) Meat filling: add sorbic acid according to the dosage of 0.08% - 0.1%, or use the mixture of sorbic acid and potassium sorbate (5) Cooked chicken: soak the cooked chicken in potassium sorbate solution for 30 seconds, then store it at 4 ℃ for 20 days The formulation of potassium sorbate preservation solution is: 10% citric acid, 6% potassium sorbate, 34% modified corn starch, 50% water, pH value of preservation solution is 3.2 (6) Fresh poultry meat: spray the fresh-keeping liquid containing sorbic acid on the surface of fresh poultry meat and store it at 7 ℃ After 18 days, the product does not deteriorate; while the control sample will deteriorate after 5 days The formula of preservative solution is: 70 parts of propylene glycol, 20 parts of water and 10 parts of glycerin containing 7.5% sorbic acid (7) Fresh chicken leg and breast: soak the chicken leg and breast in 10% sorbic acid solution for 30 seconds, and store them for 20 days at 4 ℃, twice as long as the same ? 5 Application in the preservation of vegetables and fruits: (1) vegetables and fruits: put the vegetables and fruits together with sorbic acid preservative into polyethylene bags, seal them, and store them for more than one month at 30 ℃, so as to keep the green degree of the vegetables and fruits unchanged The formula of sorbic acid preservative is 80 parts of calcium peroxide, 3 parts of sorbic acid, 70 parts of zeolite The weight ratio of preservative and fruit is 1:20 (2) Apple: spray 0.05% fresh-keeping solution on the surface of apple, store at room temperature for 4 months, only 3.2% - 6.0% of the apple will go bad Food additives have almost become an indispensable problem in the process of food production It's better to use the food safety detector to test it after the completion of production Learning more food additive knowledge can bring benefits to people's diet in the future, including the function of potassium sorbate , you can log in our safety net to check Editor in charge: he xianrob
