Food and USP pharmaceutical grade potassium sorbate in a 1 lb jar, packaged in a tamper evident, airtight plastic container for freshness. Commonly used to stabilize wine before bottling and to help prevent renewed fermentation, as well as in food preservation, baking and personal care products.
North Mountain Supply food grade potassium sorbate stabilizer is a versatile ingredient used in winemaking, brewing, food preservation and select personal care formulas. Supplied in a 1 lb plastic jar with a tamper evident, airtight seal, it is packaged to maintain purity and quality from batch to batch.
In winemaking and brewing, potassium sorbate is most often used as a stabilizer before bottling. When applied correctly, it helps prevent renewed fermentation in the bottle by inhibiting yeast activity. This is especially important when:
Back sweetening wines or ciders prior to bottling
Bottling beverages with residual sugar
Wanting to reduce the risk of pressure buildup or off flavors from unexpected fermentation
For wine and related beverages, a typical recommended dosage is about 1/2 teaspoon per gallon, though exact amounts may vary depending on the specific recipe, style and other additives used. It is commonly used alongside proper sanitation and, in many cases, with other stabilizing agents as part of a complete bottling protocol.
Beyond winemaking and brewing, potassium sorbate has a wide range of uses as a preservative and stabilizer. It is commonly found in:
Food preservation and baking applications
Sauces, syrups and prepared foods where extended shelf life is desired
Certain personal care and cosmetic products, where it can help inhibit microbial growth
Because it is both food grade and meets USP pharmaceutical grade standards, this potassium sorbate is suitable for use in many home and small scale production settings where ingredient quality and consistency are important.
The 1 lb jar provides enough material for multiple batches of wine, cider or other beverages, as well as a variety of test and production runs in the kitchen or workshop. The tamper evident, airtight packaging helps protect the powder from moisture and contamination, supporting a longer shelf life when stored properly in a cool, dry place.
