The effect of medium pH on the inhibitory power of sorbic acid toward microörganisms was determined by the dilution method. The results are as follows: 1) Without distinction of the test strain, the medium pH did significantly influence the inhibitory power of free sorbic acid: i.e. in an acidic env...
