Sodium sorbate is the sodium salt of sorbic acid. 
Sodium sorbate formula is NaC6H7O2 and systematic name is sodium (E,E)-hexa-2,4-dienoate.

Sodium sorbate is a food additive with E-number E201.

Sodium Sorbate is a preservative that is the salt of sorbic acid. 
Sodium sorbate is partially soluble in water and is used effectively against yeasts and molds up to ph 6.5. 
Sodium sorbate is not usually used as a replacement for sorbic acid or potassium sorbate. 
Sodium sorbate is used in cheese and baked goods.

Sorbic acid or sodium sorbate is effective for the inhibition of yeast fermentation in unpasteurized applejuice. 
Sodium sorbate is also effective against many common molds, but generally not against bacterial fermentation.
Sodium sorbate, a relatively tasteless material, is preferred instead of benzoate of soda and is just as effective. 
Benzoate of soda imparts a burning taste that many people find objectionable.

Sodium sorbate (2E,4E)-hexa-2,4-dienoate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain fatty acids. 
These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 4 and 12 carbon atoms. 
Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on sodium (2E,4E)-hexa-2,4-dienoate.

Sodium Sorbate 28.5% Food Grade Liquid is an antimicrobial agent. 
Sodium Sorbate is often used as a preservative in food and drinks to prevent the growth of mold, yeast and fungi. 
The functional uses of sodium sorbate are the same as potassium sorbate and it is affirmed as GRAS 21 CFR 582.3795. 
Sodium sorbate is EU approved, E201, and is produced and tested under Food Chemicals Codex conditions.

Sodium sorbate is the sodium salt of sorbic acid. 
Sorbic acid and its mineral salts, Sodium sorbate (201), Potassium sorbate (202) and Calcium sorbate (203) are naturally derived from the berries of the Mountain-ash tree (Sorbus aucuparia). 
They are commercially produced in varying chemical pathways to produce a white crystalline powder that is used as a preservative to inhibit the growth of moulds, yeasts and fungi. 
Sodium sorbate is not effective against bacteria. Its optimal pH values are below 6.5. 
The main differences between the salts are their varying solubility in water, and they are preferred over Sorbic acid itself. 
This is why some salts are used in different products, especially Calcium sorbate used mainly in dairy products and rye bread. 
May cause behavioral problems and can be linked to asthma and kidney and liver problems.

Sodium sorbate is a Sodium salt of sorbic acid Sodium sorbate uses and applications include: 
Preservative in cosmetics, foods; migrating to foods from paperpaperboard
