POTASSIUM SORBATE is a product that can provide biological stability to wine, thanks to its fungistatic effect. It is a valuable antiseptic that can be used in various food products.

APPLICATIONS
POTASSIUM SORBATE has a microbiological stabilizing action in wine, providing protection especially with regard to flor.
The use of POTASSIUM SORBATE is also advisable in wines with residual sugar, so as to avoid any unwanted refermentation in the bottle.
In order to obtain an optimal action of POTASSIUM SORBATE, it is advisable to combine the product with a limited amount of SULPHUR ANHYDRIDE and to carry out a STERILE FILTRATION, so as to avoid possible oxidation or prevent catabolism by lactic acid bacteria on sorbic acid, avoiding the formation of anomalous aromas.
When using POTASSIUM SORBATE, follow the relevant legal regulations.
