1.Food Preservative: Used in baked goods, beverages, and sauces to inhibit mold and yeast growth.
2.Cosmetic Preservative: Effective in creams, lotions, and makeup products to prevent microbial contamination.
3.Industrial Applications: Acts as a stabilizer in adhesives, paints, and coatings.
4.Agricultural Uses: Sometimes employed as a fungicide in post-harvest treatment of fruits and vegetables.
Dehydroacetic Acid is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used in accordance with regulatory guidelines. It is non-irritating to the skin at recommended concentrations but may cause sensitization in some individuals. Always conduct a patch test before widespread use in cosmetic formulations. It is biodegradable and considered environmentally safe.
