Popular questions
  1. Is potassium sorbate bad for you?

    Generally no; potassium sorbate (E202) is a low-toxicity preservative approved by major regulators, though high concentrations can irritate and rare sensitivities occur.

  2. Is potassium sorbate safe?

    Yes—it's considered safe at permitted food levels by authorities like FDA, EFSA, and JECFA; occasional mild sensitivities have been reported.

  3. How much potassium sorbate per gallon of mead?

    Typically about 0.6–1.0 g per US gallon (≈150–250 mg/L) to inhibit refermentation; add after fermentation is complete and alongside sulfite.

  4. How much potassium sorbate per gallon of wine?

    Commonly about 0.6–1.0 g per US gallon (≈150–250 mg/L); use with sulfite and check any local limits on sorbate levels.

  5. Is potassium sorbate gluten free?

    Yes—it's a synthetic preservative and contains no gluten, so it's suitable for people with celiac disease.

  1. Is ethanol polar?

    Yes—its hydroxyl (-OH) group makes ethanol a polar molecule capable of hydrogen bonding, so it mixes readily with water even though its ethyl tail is nonpolar.

  2. What is ethanol free gas?

    Fuel labeled “ethanol free” or E0 contains no blended ethanol, unlike common E10 gasoline. Some drivers choose it for small engines, boats, or long-term storage to avoid moisture and corrosion issues.

  3. What is ethanol used for?

    Food makers use E1510 as a carrier for flavors, colors, and botanical extracts, and as a processing aid in beverages and tinctures. Beyond foods it serves as a disinfectant, industrial solvent, chemical feedstock, and renewable fuel component.

  4. What is non ethanol gas?

    Non-ethanol gas is another way to describe E0 gasoline—petrol that has not been blended with ethanol. It is favored for equipment sensitive to alcohol fuels.

  5. Who sells ethanol free gas near me?

    Availability depends on location; check for stations or marinas advertising E0 or “ethanol free” pumps, and consult tools such as state fuel registries or community-maintained maps (e.g., pure-gas.org) to find current suppliers nearby.
