Panosorb®

Panosorb® is a specialty designed sorbic acid for protection of yeast-leavened bakery products.  Panosorb® sorbic acid improves the initial dough development and raising through its unique technical properties.  This leads to savings in yeast quantities and/or fermentation time compared to regular sorbic acid.  Its neutral taste and odor are an advantage over propionates and since Panosorb is 100% sorbic acid, it requires a lower usage level compared to encapsulated sorbic acid.
