Sodium Benzoate Powder

Sodium benzoate powder is an organic sodium salt resulting from the replacement of the proton from the carboxy group of benzoic acid by a sodium ion.Sodium benzoate is best known as a preservative used in processed foods and beverages to extend shelf life, though it has several other uses.

  1. Basic Info Product Name:Sodium Benzoate https://eu.echemi.com/ https://eu.echemi.com/ CAS No.:532-32-1 Other Name:SODIUM BENZOATE Appearance:A white, almost odourless, crystalline powder Description: Sodium benzoate powder is an organic sodium salt resulting from the replacement of the proton from the carboxy group of benzoic acid by a sodium ion.Sodium benzoate is best known as a preservative used in processed foods and beverages to extend shelf life, though it has several other uses. Application of Sodium Benzoate Powder Sodium benzoate is the first preservative the FDA allowed in foods and still a widely used food additive. It’s classified as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS), meaning that experts consider it safe when used as intended. It’s approved internationally as a food additive and is assigned the identifying number 211. For example, it’s listed as E211 in European food products. 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. Therefore, it’s commonly used in foods, such as soda, bottled lemon juice, pickles, jelly, salad dressing, soy sauce, and other condiments. Sodium benzoate powder preserves food by having anti-fungal properties, protecting foods from invasion by fungi that cause food to spoil and potentially make you sick. Sodium benzoate works by entering the individual cells in the food and balancing its pH level, increasing the overall acidity of the food. By lowering the intracellular pH of certain foods, sodium benzoate creates an environment in which fungi cannot grow and spread. Its usage level in most kinds of food is 0.05–-0.1%. It is used in acidified foods, such as carbonated beverages, fruit juices, cider, pickles, and sauerkraut. It is low in cost. Sodium chloride powder has a considerable synergistic effect with it. When used in oil-in-water

  2. emulsions, like mayonnaise, sodium benzoate powder is used in combination with potassium sorbate.This mixture has a stronger effect against acid-producing bacteria than either of the two preservatives individually. Benzoic acid is ineffective against oxidation and enzymatic spoilage. When used in fruit products, sodium benzoate powder is usually combined with small quantities of sulfur dioxide or other antioxidants.
