Sorbic acid
Catalog No: CFN90061
Sorbic acid is important food preservatives and powerful fungistatic agents, it inhibits various bacteria, including sporeformers, at various stages of their life cycle (germination, outgrowth and cell division). Sorbic acid is a more potent uncoupler of the membrane potential than acetic acid, the effect may also slow the rate of ATP synthesis significantly and may thus (partially) explain Sorbic acid's effectiveness.
