What is Potassium cinnamate?
Potassium cinnamate is the potassium salt of natural cinnamic acid, and is also a new product developed in the field of food preservatives. It is non-toxic and harmless to the human body, safe and convenient, and has multiple health functions for the human body. Therefore, it has great development and application prospects. Its advent has caused a shock in the food preservation industry. As a natural food preservative, potassium cinnamate has the following characteristics: strong antibacterial ability, especially strong effect on molds, bacteria and yeasts that cause food corruption.
Product Features
As a natural food preservative, potassium cinnamate has the following characteristics:
1.1 Broad spectrum
It has strong antibacterial ability, especially against molds, bacteria and yeasts that cause food spoilage. Its effective concentration for inhibiting molds is 0.05-
0.1%, and the commonly used dosage is 0.01-0.02%. The effective concentration for inhibiting bacteria is 0.01-0.1%. The main inhibitory objects also include Pseudomonas, Micrococcus, Bacillus, Enterobacteriaceae, Vibrio, Halobacterium, Aerobic bacteria, Lactobacillus, Lactobacillus, Aflatoxin, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Lactobacillus casei, Butyric acid bacteria, Lactobacillus plantarum, aerobic Bacillus, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacilli, Clostridium botulinum, etc. At the same time, potassium cinnamate is not limited by pH, and the antibacterial effect is also quite good when the pH value is between 2-7, and the antibacterial effect does not change due to pH fluctuations, so it can be widely used in various foods.
1.2 Safety and practicality
The oral LD50 of potassium cinnamate in rats is 5.58-6.78g/kg, which is a non-toxic product. After being absorbed by the human body, potassium cinnamate is converted into phenylalanine and excreted from the body through metabolism. A small amount of phenylalanine can be catalyzed by phenylalanine hydroxylase to produce tyrosine, which has no toxicity to the human body. Its effective preservative ingredient, cinnamic acid, was recognized as GRAS (generally regarded as safe) by FEMA (Seasoning Extract Manufacturers Association) in 1965.
1.3 Functionality
The effective preservative ingredient of potassium cinnamate is also a natural differentiation inducer that has a differentiation effect on a variety of cells, that is, it has health functions such as anti-fatigue, promoting metabolism, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, dilating blood vessels, maintaining excitement and lowering blood pressure.
2 Preservative properties of potassium cinnamate
Potassium cinnamate is the potassium salt of cinnamic acid, a natural cinnamon extract. Due to its good solubility, it is widely used in food. Its preservative mechanism is that potassium cinnamate is converted into cinnamic acid under acidic conditions. Cinnamic acid is a weak acid with a pKa of 4.37-4.44. Its antimicrobial effect depends on the presence of a majority of the acid molecule in the unionized form. When dissolved in water, the weak acid does not completely ionize into ions, but forms an equilibrium between a charged, ionic form and an uncharged, unionized form. The ratio of the two forms depends on the pH of the solution. The more acidic the solution, the more unionized forms are present. Since the fifties, it has been known that cinnamic acid acts as an antimicrobial by inhibiting the use of phenylalanine and tyrosine by microorganisms. In its unionized form, cinnamic acid as a weak acid preservative is believed to be soluble in microbial membranes, enter cells, ionize at higher pH and thus lower the internal pH, effectively affecting the activity of many important enzymes, thereby ultimately killing the contaminating cells.
Main uses
It is mainly used for the preservation of carbonated beverages, fruit juice drinks, canned foods, dairy products, sauces and vegetable products. The recommended dosage is 0.1-0.5% according to different processes. It is the best product to replace sodium benzoate.
Antimicrobial spectrum
The use of potassium cinnamate can expand the antimicrobial spectrum of the product, synergistically improve the antimicrobial effect, and has high safety. In particular, it has the strongest effect on yeasts, molds, and bacteria that cause food spoilage. The effective concentration for inhibiting mold is 0.05-0.1%, the general dosage is 0.1-0.2%, and the effective concentration for inhibiting bacteria is 0.01-0.1%. The main inhibitory objects also include Pseudomonas, Micrococcus, Bacillus, Enterobacteriaceae, Vibrio, Halobacterium, Aerobic bacteria, Lactobacillus, Lactobacillus, aflatoxin, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Lactobacillus casei, Butyric acid bacteria, Lactobacillus plantarum, aerobic Bacillus, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacilli, Clostridium botulinum, etc. At the same time, potassium cinnamate is not limited by pH, and the antibacterial effect is quite good when the pH value is between 2-7, and the antibacterial effect does not change due to pH fluctuations, and can be widely used in various foods. Potassium cinnamate is a non-toxic bactericidal preservative and antioxidant with a slight cinnamon aroma and easy to dissolve in water. It will replace traditional preservatives; it has health functions such as anti-fatigue, promoting metabolism, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, dilating blood vessels, maintaining excitement and lowering blood pressure, and is also used as a blend of food spices. It can be added directly to food, or it can be used as the main ingredient to make functional beverages and health foods.
Meat product preservation
Because potassium cinnamate has good solubility and antiseptic properties, and is safe and non-toxic, it is widely used in the processing of meat products such as cold fresh meat, enema, ham, meat jerky and canned meat. It has been proved by many experiments that adding a certain amount of potassium cinnamate during the processing can play a good antiseptic and fresh-keeping effect. For example, when applied to cold fresh meat, it can effectively prevent bacteria from growing and mildewing. In addition, it can effectively maintain the color and flavor of fresh meat, and has multiple functions such as water retention, anti-oxidation and stabilizing the quality of fresh meat; when applied to ham, it can effectively improve the color and flavor of ham sausage, and has multiple functions such as water retention, anti-oxidation and improving the quality of ham sausage, and can reduce the use of sodium nitrite, effectively solving common problems such as sour corruption and bulging bags of ham sausage.
Spices
Potassium cinnamate itself is a spice with a good fragrance preservation effect. It is usually used as a fragrance raw material to make the aroma of the main spice more fragrant and volatile. Various esters of cinnamic acid (such as A, B, C, D, etc.) can be used as fixatives for beverages, cold drinks, candies, alcoholic beverages and other foods. Propyl cinnamate, also known as β-phenyl acrylate, has a special peach, apricot and wine-like aroma. It is widely used in food, tobacco, cosmetics, and soap flavoring agents. It is a spice to be developed. At the same time, potassium cinnamate can also be used as apple flavor, cherry flavor, fruit flavor, and floral flavor blending; it can be used as an aromatic mixture in soap, shampoo, washing powder, and daily cosmetics. In the application of cosmetics, it has the effect of inhibiting the formation of black tyrosinase, has a certain isolation effect on ultraviolet rays, can make brown spots lighter or even disappear, and is one of the essential ingredients in advanced sunscreens.
