Sorbic acid is primarily applied commercially in foods such as cheeses, fruit jellies and preserves, and
margarine. It is widely sought after, due to its antimicrobial, mold and yeast inhibiting, and fungicidal properties. We also see sorbic acid applied in cosmetics, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, tobacco, inks, and glues. Additionally, sorbic acid is an additive in alkyd coatings, drying oils, rubber, and food packaging.
