Dehydroacetic acid is one of our organic acids. It has great fungicial properties but low bactericidal properties, so it’s a good addition to this mix to make it a broad spectrum preservative. Unfortunately, it tends to work very poorly when included at a pH of 5.0, and it can be inactivated easily by cationics, non-ionics, and proteins.
