Sorbic Acid is an organic compound that largely serves as an industrial preservative. It is widely used as a food preservative that helps prevent the growth of yeast, mold, and other bacteria in various food products. It is mainly used in preserving food products, such as processed cheese, wine, fruit juices, and various baked goods, by inhibiting bacterial growth and promoting shelf life. It is also used in the preservation of processed meat and packaged meat products, as it inhibits the growth of molds and fungi and preserves its safety during storage. It also finds its application as a preservative to protect the originality of certain drugs and enhance their shelf life. It is often used as a component in various cosmetic products to inhibit bacterial growth.

The market for Sorbic Acid is predominantly led by its application as a preservative in a wide range of drugs, cosmetics, and food products, which contributes to its demand. Its application in preserving cosmetic formulations and maintaining their freshness makes it a highly sought-after commodity in the cosmetics industry. Its usage as a preservative for a variety of food products, including cakes, wine, soft drinks, meat, etc., further enhances its demand in the food and beverage industry. Its involvement in the pharmaceutical industry to preserve the newness of various drugs by inhibiting fungal and bacterial growth significantly drives its market expansion. Additionally, several factors, including the availability of raw material (Acetaldehyde), cost and pricing, its application in the cosmetics industry, distribution, logistics, quality standards, and regulatory compliance, are some crucial factors that influence industrial Sorbic Acid procurement on a large scale.

Raw Material for Sorbic Acid Production

According to the Sorbic Acid manufacturing plant project report, the major raw material for Sorbic Acid production includes Acetaldehyde.

Manufacturing Process of Sorbic Acid

The extensive Sorbic Acid production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production from Acetaldehyde: This method of production involves the process of trimerization of acetaldehyde for producing sorbic acid as the product. The synthesis starts by the trimerization of acetaldehyde, followed by the catalytic air oxidation of the hexadienal, which results in the formation of sorbic acid as the final product.
