Sodium Benzoate (Food Grade)
Description
Sodium benzoate is a food preservative that is used to prevent spoilage from mold, bacteria, and yeast. It's also used to maintain freshness by slowing or preventing changes in color, flavor, pH, and texture.
Mode of Action
Sodium benzoate is primarily used as a preservative in food and beverages. It inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold by disrupting their cellular function. Sodium benzoate works by reducing the pH of the food product, which inhibits the growth of microorganisms and extends its shelf life.
Applications
Sodium benzoate is effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, yeast, and fungi. It inhibits the growth and reproduction of these microorganisms by disrupting their cellular metabolism and membrane integrity.
