Application Scope

1、‌‌Dairy products‌: The addition amount in cheese and yogurt is ≤1.0g/kg, which inhibits the reproduction of mold.

2、‌Baked products‌: The maximum use amount in bread and cake is 1.0g/kg, which extends the shelf life.

3、‌Beverages‌: The addition amount in juice and carbonated drinks is 0.2g/kg, which is suitable for pH ≤ 5.5 environment.‌

4、‌Cosmetics‌: Preservative in lotion and cream, the dosage is ≤0.6% (calculated as acid).

5、‌Rubber industry‌: Unsaturated acid modifier, which improves the weather resistance of materials.
