Sodium Benzoate Powder is a widely used food preservative and additive known for its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold. It is commonly added to acidic foods such as jams, sauces, soft drinks, and pickles to extend shelf life by preventing spoilage. This white, odorless powder dissolves easily in water, enhancing its versatility in food processing. Sodium Benzoate works by lowering the pH of foods, creating an environment where microorganisms struggle to survive. It is considered safe for consumption within regulated limits by food safety authorities worldwide. Apart from its preservative role, Sodium Benzoate may also act as a pH adjuster in some cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. Its effectiveness, stability, and minimal impact on food taste and texture make it a staple ingredient in modern food preservation practices.
