How to use benzoic acid

Since the solubility of benzoic acid in water is low, it is actually added with an appropriate amount of sodium carbonate or sodium hydrogencarbonate, dissolved in hot water of 90 ° C or higher, and converted into sodium benzoate before being added to the food. If benzoic acid must be used, it can be dissolved after dissolving it in an appropriate amount of ethanol.

Since benzoic acid has a lower solubility in water than sodium benzoate, when sodium benzoate is used in an acidic food, care should be taken to prevent precipitation due to conversion of sodium benzoate to benzoic acid and to reduce the effect thereof.
