Sorbic acid is an organic acid. It is weakly acidic in nature. Its permeability through an edible film made of methylcellulose and palmitic acid has been evaluated.
Application
Sorbic acid may be employed as a starting reagent for the synthesis of p-toluic acid and alkyl-p-toluates.[1]

Weak organic acids such as sorbic acid are important food preservatives and powerful fungistatic agents. These compounds accumulate in the cytosol and disturb the cellular pH and energy homeostasis. Candida glabrata is in many aspects similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However
The microbial stability of intermediate moisture foods (IMF) is linked with the possible growth of osmophilic yeast and xerophilic moulds. As most of these products have a long shelf life the assessment of the microbial stability is often an important
