1.The ?d?d? nke potassium sorbate Potassium sorbate nwetara site mmeghachi omume nke sorbate na potassium carbonate ma ? b? potassium hydroxide, na ?d?d? nke sorbate yiri nke obere molekul conjugated ?d?d? as?d.
Usoro njik? nke fatty acids b? -ch = ch-ch = CH-, na nke a na-aga n'ihu na carbon-carbon double bond ?d?d? (-C = C-) b? ihe na-ad?gh? akw?s? akw?s? na ngwa ngwa metabolized n'ime carbon dioxide na mmiri n'ime ah? mmad?, nke na-at? nt?ala maka nchekwa nke potassium sorbate.
Usoro kem?kal nke potassium sorbate b?: CH3-CH=CH-CH=CH-COOK

2.Amara nke potassium sorbate na potassium sorbate nwere otu mgbochi corrosion Njirimara, ma ?d?d? nke sorbate yiri fatty acids, solubility na mmiri b? n'ozuzu, mere nke potassium sorbate, nwere ike mma etisas?wo na mmiri.
Potassium sorbate b? ihe na-acha ?cha ma ? b? na-acha ?cha ma ? b? nt? nt?, enwegh? isi ma ? b? d? ntak?r? na-esi ísì, kw?siri ike na ìhè na okpom?k?.
Ebe ? b? na potassium sorbate nwere njik? ab?? na-ejik?tagh? ?n?, ? d? mfe oxidize, kar?s?a njik? ab?? d? anya site na carboxyl group (-COOH) d? mfe oxidize, na potassium sorbate oxidized ga-agba ?ch?ch?r?.

3.From ?d?d? nke potassium sorbate, ya isi ?d?d? b? a obere-molecule conjugated ?d?d? acid ?d?d?, nke na-ad? mfe metabolized n'ime carbon dioxide na mmiri na ah? mmad?, n'ihi ya, ? d?t? mma.
K?miti ?kachamara na ihe mgbakwunye nri (JECFA), nke òtù Ah? Ike ?wa (WHO) na òtù Na-ah? Maka ?r? Na-ah? Maka ?r? Na-ah? Maka ?r? na United Nations (FAO) kwadoro, emeela ?t?t? nyocha nchekwa nke potassium sorbate, na nsonaaz? ya gosiri na potassium sorbate d? mma iji mee ihe na usoro doses. Nd? nch?kwa nri na ?gw? ?j?? nke US (FDA) na European Safety Authority (EFSA) na-at?lekwa potassium sorbate ka ? b?r? ihe mgbakwunye nri d? mma.
Dabere na data nyocha sayens? ugbu a, potassium sorbate edep?tagh? d? ka ?r?a kansa b? isi. International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) na-ekewa potassium sorbate d? ka ?kwa 3, nke p?tara na ihe akaebe d?n? ezughi oke iji were ya na ? b? carcinogenic ?m? mmad?.
