In proofed doughs, sorbic acid is the most used product when searching microorganisms growth inhibition (moulds and yeasts), due to the fact that they can double the bread shelf life.
When sorbic acid is used in a direct way, yeast is inactivated, decreasing considerably the volumen during the proofing step as well as the final volume achieved in the oven.
Microencapsulated sorbic acid is extremely effective because it is coated by a protective layer and it will not be able to perform and attack the gluten network and yeast. For this reason, the final volume is better once the proofing time has finished and when the product is fully baked (at the end of the oven step).
The whole of it improves the production costs (yeast can be reduced) and the final product quality.
Application: To inhibit yeast and molds in processed cheese, wine, fruit juices, and some baked goods
