So, what is sorbato?
Sorbato is a food preservative widely used in the food industry to prevent the growth of mold, yeast, and bacteria in foods. This ingredient is derived from sorbic acid, which occurs naturally in some fruits and berries. Sorbato has a slightly bitter taste and is typically added to processed foods, such as baked goods, cheese, and wine. It is considered a safe food additive by regulatory agencies around the world, but excessive intake may cause gastrointestinal issues. Sorbato is an effective way to extend the shelf life of food products and maintain their quality over time.
