Product Overview: Sodium Benzoate for Food and Beverage Preservation
Sodium Benzoate (CAS Number: 532-32-1, E Number: E211) is a widely used preservative known for its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeast, and molds in acidic foods and beverages. It is a colorless or white crystalline powder with a slightly sweet odor and is commonly used in food, beverage, and cosmetic formulations due to its cost-effectiveness and efficiency in extending shelf life.
Due to its low toxicity, high solubility, and broad application range, Sodium Benzoate is an essential preservative in the food industry, particularly in products with a pH of 7 or lower. Sodium Benzoate also complies with global food safety standards and is available in a wide range of packing options to meet different customer needs.
