The advantage of sodium benzoate

 

China's current food preservatives mainly use sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate. Because sodium benzoate is cheap, it is widely used by food companies.It is more commonly used than benzoic acid because it is more soluble in water than benzoic acid and is stable in air and inhibits the action of yeast and bacteria.

Benzoic acid and sodium benzoate are often used to preserve highly acidic fruits, jams, beverage syrups and other acidic foods, which can be synergistically used at low temperatures.Sodium benzoate has the same effect on microorganisms as benzoic acid. But because it is a sodium salt, to achieve the same bactericidal effect as benzoic acid, the required amount is 1.2 times that of benzoic acid.
