Physical and Chemical Properties | The main properties of sorbic acid ester have strong inhibitory effect on 6 common molds, of which n-butyl sorbic acid has the strongest antibacterial ability. After heat treatment at 121 ℃ for 30 min, sorbic acid ester still has good antibacterial effect, and has strong antibacterial ability in the pH5-8 range, showing good stability. |
Use | Synthetic Method n-butyl sorbate was synthesized with sorbic acid and n-butanol as raw materials and p-toluene sulfonic acid as catalyst. The yield of esterification was 97.5 with butyl acetate as water-carrying agent and 4A molecular sieve as water-removing agent. |

7367-78-4 - Introduction
BUTYL SORBATE(Butyl Sorbate) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C11H14O3.
Nature:
BUTYL SORBATE is a colorless to yellowish liquid with low water solubility. It has good stability and antibacterial properties.
Use:
BUTYL SORBATE is mainly used as a preservative and antibacterial agent in the food industry. It can inhibit the growth of mold, yeast and bacteria in food and prolong the shelf life of food. Commonly used in fruit juice, wine, condiments, jam, canned food.
Method:
The preparation of BUTYL SORBATE is generally obtained by the reaction of sorbic acid with butanol. First, sorbic acid and butanol are heated and mixed, and the esterification reaction is carried out at a certain temperature. After completion of the reaction, BUTYL SORBATE can be obtained by purification by distillation.
Safety Information:
BUTYL SORBATE has no obvious toxicity to human body under General dosage. According to the reasonable amount of food additives added, is generally safe. However, excessive use or long-term intake may have adverse effects on human health. Therefore, reasonable usage and food safety standards need to be followed.
In General, BUTYL SORBATE is a commonly used food industry additive with good antiseptic and antibacterial effects, but it still needs to be used under the premise of reasonable use and compliance with relevant regulations.
