Moreover, glacial acetic acid plays a crucial role in the textile industry, where it is used to produce rayon and as a mordant in dyeing processes. Its strong acidic properties help enhance the vibrancy and adherence of dyes to fabric. In the food industry, diluted solutions of acetic acid are commonly used as a food preservative and flavoring agent, especially in pickling processes. While concentrated glacial acetic acid is not directly used in food products, it exemplifies the versatility of acetic acid across various industries.
Potassium sorbate, also known as sorbistat-k, E-202 and sorbistat-potasium, is a white, odorless, and tasteless salt. Although it is naturally occurring in some fruits like berries, it is commercially produced by a neutralization reaction between sorbic acid and potassium hydroxide. It is an inactive salt form of sorbic acid and just like sorbic acid, it has been found to be active against molds, yeasts, bacteria and fungi. Because of these antimicrobial activities, it is often used as a preservative in the food and beverage industries to preserve foods like cheese, yogurt, dried meat, bread, cake, milkshakes, pickles, ice cream and apple cider.
