DEA originally based its decision to define the persons performing the reverse distribution function as disposers on the definition of manufacturer.. In 21 CFR 1300.01(b)(27), DEA defines manufacture in part as the producing, preparation, propagation, compounding, or processing of a drug or other substance . . . ..
Potassium sorbate is a chemical that is formed when potassium salt bonds with sorbic acid, creating a fatty acid salt that is polysaturated. At room temperature, it looks like a white crystalline powder, but the mixture will quickly dissolve in water, which will revert it back to sorbic acid as the potassium dissolves.
Ughh. I took some bad advice on potassium sorbate additions to my white wine. I added 2-3 times what was needed. I now have tartrate crystals in my chardonnay. That is a first for me. But I'm more concerned with flavor implications and whether there is an unhealthy amount of potassium sorbate in my wine now. Can anyone weigh in?
