E 200 (sorbic acid), or 2,4-hexadienoic acid, is a natural organic compound used as a food preservative. 
E 200 (sorbic acid) has the chemical formula CH3(CH)4CO2H. 
E 200 (sorbic acid) is a colourless solid that is slightly soluble in water and sublimes readily. 
E 200 (sorbic acid) was first isolated from the unripe berries of the Sorbus aucuparia (rowan tree), hence its name.

Production of E 200 (sorbic acid)
The traditional route to sorbic acid involves condensation of malonic acid and crotonaldehyde.
E 200 (sorbic acid) can also be prepared from isomeric hexadienoic acids, which are available via a nickel-catalyzed reaction of allyl chloride, acetylene, and carbon monoxide. 
The route used commercially, however, is from crotonaldehyde and ketene.
An estimated 30,000 tons are produced annually.

History of E 200 (sorbic acid)
E 200 (sorbic acid) was isolated in 1859 by distillation of rowanberry oil by A. W. von Hofmann.
This affords parasorbic acid, the lactone of sorbic acid, which he converted to sorbic acid by hydrolysis. 
Its antimicrobial activities were discovered in the late 1930s and 1940s, and it became commercially available in the late 1940s and 1950s. 
Beginning in the 1980s, sorbic acid and its salts were used as inhibitors of Clostridium botulinum in meat products to replace the use of nitrites, which can produce carcinogenic nitrosamines.

Properties and uses of E 200 (sorbic acid)
With a pKa of 4.76, sorbic acid is about as acidic as acetic acid.
Sorbic acid and its salts, especially potassium sorbate and calcium sorbate, are antimicrobial agents often used as preservatives in food and drinks to prevent the growth of mold, yeast, and fungi. 
In general the salts are preferred over the acid form because they are more soluble in water, but the active form is the acid. 

The optimal pH for the antimicrobial activity is below pH 6.5. 
Sorbates are generally used at concentrations of 0.025% to 0.10%. 
Adding sorbate salts to food will, however, raise the pH of the food slightly so the pH may need to be adjusted to assure safety. 
E 200 (sorbic acid) is found in foods such as various kinds of cheese, bread, muffins, donuts, pies, cookies, protein bars, syrups, lemonades, fruit juices, dried meats, sausages, nuggets, burgers, sandwiches, tacos, pizzas, smoked fish, margarine, sauces, soups, and more.

The E numbers are:
E200 Sorbic acid
E201 Sodium sorbate
E202 Potassium sorbate
E203 Calcium sorbate

Some molds (notably some Trichoderma and Penicillium strains) and yeasts are able to detoxify sorbates by decarboxylation, producing trans-1,3-pentadiene. 
The pentadiene manifests as a typical odor of kerosene or petroleum. 
Other detoxification reactions include reduction to 4-hexenol and 4-hexenoic acid.
E 200 (sorbic acid) can also be used as an additive for cold rubber, and as an intermediate in the manufacture of some plasticizers and lubricants.

Methods of Manufacturing of E 200 (sorbic acid)
Trimerization of acetaldehyde and catalytic air oxidation of the resulting hexadienal.
In the presence of salts of divalent transition metals as catalysts, ketene and 2-butenal react at 30-80 °C to give a polymeric ester of 3-hydroxy-4-hexenoic acid with a molecular mass greater than or equal to about 2000. This polyester can be cleaved to give sorbic acid in good yield by either bases or acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid); alternatively, cleavage can be effected by metal-complex catalysts.

E 200 (sorbic acid) is a colorless solid that is very poorly soluble in water, has no odor, but has a pronounced sour taste. 
When labeling food products, another acid name is commonly used - E200. 
Scientists are still arguing about whether to use this substance as a preservative. 
And is it really as safe as it seems at first glance.

E 200 (sorbic acid) - a very powerful preservative, which has antibacterial properties. 
However, unlike other food additives, E 200 (sorbic acid) does not destroy microorganisms, but only slows down the process of their reproduction. 
Therefore, food products that contain this substance are not sterile. 
Moreover, they contain various groups of bacteria, including those that have a very beneficial effect on the human body. 
However, due to the fact that their process of development and reproduction is inhibited due to the presence of E200, food products retain their freshness and excellent quality much longer, do not grow moldy and do not rot.

E 200 (sorbic acid) itself in small doses has a very positive effect on the human body, helping to strengthen the immune system and remove toxins from it. 
However, its antibacterial properties are manifested only in an environment with low acidity, therefore, when ingested into the human stomach, the preservative E200 is usually neutralized, after which it is eliminated from the body naturally.

E 200 (sorbic acid) is a naturally occurring compound that’s become the most commonly used food preservative in the world, and it makes the global food chain possible. 
E 200 (sorbic acid)’s highly effective at inhibiting the growth of mold, which can spoil food and spread fatal diseases. 
For example, when sorbic acid is sprayed on the exterior of a country ham, there won’t be any mold growth for 30 days. 
This allows for food to be shipped and stored all over the globe.

E 200 (sorbic acid) is a preferred preservative compared to nitrates, which can form carcinogenic byproducts.
