Potassium Sorbate in Honey Production: Myths vs. Facts

Bharat Vedika Organic06 Dec, 2025Business

Raw honey doesn’t need potassium sorbate because its low moisture, natural sugars, and mild acidity already keep it safe from spoilage. Preservatives are only used in processed or high-moisture varieties, not in authentic raw honey. Potassium sorbate doesn’t enhance flavour or nutrition; it’s simply a shelf-life extender for commercial products. Pure, unprocessed honey stays stable on its own and doesn’t require synthetic additives. Choosing raw varieties means choosing natural purity. Bharat Vedica offers some of the finest organic options.
