Preservation Options
Preservation can be tailored to suit your product style, shelf-life requirements, and flavour goals.
Available options
-
Citric acid
-
Sodium benzoate
-
Potassium sorbate
-
Xanthan gum (for texture and stability)
-
Vinegar (optional)
Vinegar can be an effective preservative, but it has a strong flavour. For sweet chilli sauces, vinegar is often avoided because it can overpower sweetness and aromatics.
Where sweetness is the goal, we can recommend alternative preservation approaches.
