Technical note: Kinetics of sorbic acid loss during storage of peaches preserved by combined factors

It was found that the loss of sorbic acid in stored peaches preserved by combined factors (water activity, pH, additives) followed first order reaction kinetics. Rate constants and activation energy (14 kcal/mol) were almost identical to those previously reported for sorbic acid loss in concentrated...

Sumario:It was found that the loss of sorbic acid in stored peaches preserved by combined factors (water activity, pH, additives) followed first order reaction kinetics. Rate constants and activation energy (14 kcal/mol) were almost identical to those previously reported for sorbic acid loss in concentrated glucose solutions of identical water activity and pH.
