Spicy World Potassium Sorbate 14 Oz - Food Grade - Great Wine Stabilizer, Preservative for Gummies, Mead, Cider & More!

We have very hard water. I used to use l e m o n shine to get the film off my dishes, but it was pretty pricey. My neighbor was about to get a new dishwasher, thinking it was a bad one, I told her about this citric acid, they saved 600 bucks and still have the same dishwasher 3 yrs later. Now I just throw a tablespoon of this in my dishwasher and it gets the dishes crystal clear. I also use it in my window washing solution for outside, it helps a ton and a great price!

I add this to gummy candies as a preservative. You don't need much. I mix a solution of three parts water to one part potassium sorbate, then add 8 mL of that to a batch of gummies. I haven't gotten mold yet, even after storing for 3 months or more. I recommend.

Purchased this to stabilize my mead for backsweetening and it did the job super well! That being said, I totally didn't have any context for JUST. HOW. MUCH. Potassium Sorbate I was about to buy! It's a good problem to have, having too much of this stuff on hand since I'll just be ready for future batches, but be aware that this is likely about 3-4 CUPS of Potassium Sorbate by volume.

Be careful how much of this you add to anything, because it imparts a terrible bitter flavor. Use the absolute minimum necessary.

It's food grade and very well packaged for shipment. I purchased this for use in homemade bath and body products I make for my family and friends, as a part of my preservation method. I don't like to use preservatives, so I usually use natural preservatives leucidal liquid SF (radish ferment) and amticide coconut (coconut derived) as my preservatives, but certain products I whip up, just need more protection and to lengthen the shelf life. I chose this food grade preservative. It's easy to work with and so far, so good, on doing it's job. I use it in very small amounts and notice no added scent in my products. Which I was very surprised about, because an aloe vera juice I had purchased that is marketed for consumption, contained it, and really made my products have an off chemical odor, even when used in small amounts. I threw it out and the two things I made with it. I had ordered the preservative free, as I usually do, but received the one with preservatives. But this potassium sorbate doesn't give the homemade item a bad scent. Nobody has had any problems with skin irritation. I apologize if you're looking at this product for use in food, I have no experience with using potassium sorbate in food.

Product arrived on time and was as expected

Works Great

If you make "medicated" gummies, or even regular ones for squares, get this. Far cheaper than the Lorann brand pre-mixed liquid and does the same thing. Mix one part granules with two parts water and use 1/4 tsp per 1/2 cup of water/juice/whatever liquid you use. Makes gummies shelf-stable!
