Sodium Benzoate Powder

More Information
Sodium benzoate is a preservative. It is most widely used in acidic foods such as salad dressings (i.e. acetic acid in vinegar), carbonated drinks (carbonic acid), jams and fruit juices (citric acid), pickles(acetic acid), condiments and frogurt toppings. It is also used as a preservative in medicines and cosmetics. Sodium benzoate inhibits the growth of potentially harmful bacteria, mold, and other microbes in food, thus deterring spoilage. It’s particularly effective in acidic foods.
