About Sodium Benzoate

Sodium Benzoate is produced by neutralizing benzoic acid with sodium hydroxide, resulting in a stable, water-soluble salt widely recognized under food additive code E211. It functions most effectively as a preservative in acidic environments (generally below pH 3.6), which is why it’s commonly found in products like carbonated soft drinks, fruit juices, pickles, salad dressings, and certain sauces and condiments, where it helps inhibit microbial growth and extend product shelf life.

Beyond food applications, Sodium Benzoate is also used in certain cosmetic and personal care formulations as a preservative, as well as in some industrial applications requiring corrosion inhibition or antimicrobial properties.

Common Applications

• Food & Beverage Preservation – Used in soft drinks, juices, pickles, and sauces
• Condiments & Dressings – Helps extend shelf life in acidic condiment products
• Cosmetic Formulations – Used as a preservative in certain personal care products
• Pharmaceutical Use – Utilized in some pharmaceutical formulations as a preservative agent
• Industrial Applications – Used in select industrial processes requiring antimicrobial properties
