Procedure

200 g of sorbic acid are dissolved at 80° C. in a solution of 400 g of potassium sorbate in 400 ml of water. After cooling to room temperature, suction-off, washing with acetone and drying in vacuo at 50° C., there are obtained 464 g of potassium disorbate (= 99 %, calculated on sorbic acid).

Workup

  1. washsuction-off, washing with acetone
  2. customdrying in vacuo at 50° C.
