General technical information

General information: sorbates remain effective up to a higher pH than benzoates (roughly pH 6.5), which is why they are common in bakery and dairy. Permitted uses and limits are set by each market's food regulations. This is general context about the substance, not a statement about a specific grade supplied by Sheetal Aromatics.
