E202 Sorbate de potassium

This is the potassium salt of sorbic acid. Like the latter, it is a preservative (antimicrobial, antifungal). A common Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of 3 mg/kg bw/day is defined for sorbic acid (E200) and potassium sorbate (E202). There is no a priori risk of exceeding this ADI. There was controversy about the potential mutagenicity of sorbates in association with nitrites, but this has since been disproved.

Examples of products for use
