Overview
Sodium benzoate is one of the most widely used food preservatives. In acidic products such as soft drinks, sauces and pickles it stops the growth of yeasts, moulds and bacteria, extending shelf life without changing the taste at typical doses.
We supply granular, low-dust food-grade material that dissolves readily in water, with batch certificates for your quality records.
