I-asidi ye-Sorbic kunye ne-potassium sorbate yizona zigciniweyo ezisetyenziswa kakhulu kwihlabathi, ezineempawu eziphezulu zokulwa ne-antibacterial, ezivimbela ukukhula kunye nokuveliswa kwesikhunta. Ngokuthintela inkqubo ye-dehydrogenase kwi-microorganisms, inokuthintela ukukhula kwee-microorganisms kwaye idlale indima yokulondoloza, inqanda ukungunda, igwele kunye neebhaktheriya ezininzi ze-aerobic, kodwa phantse zingasebenzi kwiibhaktheriya ze-anaerobic sporoforming kunye ne-acidophilus. Isetyenziswa kakhulu kwitshizi, iyogathi kunye nezinye iimveliso zamasi, isonka kunye neemveliso ze-snack, iziselo, ijusi, ijam, i-pickle kunye neemveliso zeentlanzi kunye nezinye izinto ezigcina ukutya. Ubungakanani bejusi yeziqhamo kunye nemifuno egxininisiweyo kwimigqomo yeplastiki ayinakudlula i-2g / kg; Kwisosi yesoya, iviniga, i-jam, ioli ye-hydrogenated yemifuno, i-candy epholileyo, iimveliso zeentlanzi ezomileyo, iimveliso zesoya ngokukhawuleza, ukugcwaliswa kwe-pastry, izonka, amaqebelengwane, amaqebelengwane enyanga, ukusetyenziswa okuphezulu kwe-1.0g / kg; Ukusetyenziswa okuphezulu kwiwayini kunye newayini yeziqhamo yi-0.8g/kg; Kwi-collagen casings, i-pickle ephantsi kwetyuwa, i-sauces, igcina, i-juice yesithelo (i-flavour) iziphuzo kunye nejeli, ukusetyenziswa okuphezulu ngu-0.5g / kg; Olona setyenziso luphezulu yi-0.2g/kg kwiziqhamo kunye nemifuno yokugcina izinto ezintsha kunye neziselo zekhabhoni; Kwishishini lokutya, inokusetyenziswa kwinyama, intlanzi, amaqanda, iimveliso zenkukhu ezinobuninzi bokusetyenziswa kwe-0.075g/kg.
