What is Potassium Sorbate?
Potassium Sorbate – used in the Dunkin’ Donut’s Glaze – is an inorganic, chemical additive used to preserve foods. It’s an odorless salt that is manufactured from sorbic acid and potassium hydroxide.
The purpose of using potassium sorbate is to inhibit the growth of molds, yeast, and fungi, which in turn helps to increase the shelf life of processed foods.
This additive is used in the production of juices, cheese, pickles, ice cream, wine, and yogurt, as well as many other food items. You will also find potassium sorbate in pet food.
