Product Introduction

Description

Sodium Benzoate serves as a food additive, primarily employed in acidic food items, beverages, and other products. Its function is to regulate the growth of bacteria, molds, yeasts, and various other microorganisms. It achieves this by disrupting their capacity to generate energy. Beyond the food sector, it also finds applications in the medical field, the tobacco industry, as well as in the printing and dyeing processes.
Sodium benzoate acts as a preservative, demonstrating both bacteriostatic and fungistatic properties specifically under acidic conditions. It is most commonly utilized in acidic foods. For instance, it is present in salad dressings (owing to the acidic nature of vinegar), carbonated beverages (containing carbonic acid), jams and fruit juices (with citric acid), pickles (due to vinegar), and various condiments. Additionally, it can be found in mouthwashes that contain alcohol and in substances used for polishing silver. It is even an ingredient in certain cough syrups, such as Robitussin. When it comes to product labeling, Sodium benzoate is clearly indicated as such. Moreover, in the realm of fireworks, it is used as a fuel component in whistle mix. This is a type of powder that, when compressed into a tube and ignited, emits a whistling sound.
