Sodium benzoate used in beverages

Sodium benzoate is used as a preservative in soft drinks to increase acidity and flavor, and as a preservative to extend shelf life. Sodium benzoate, potassium benzoate, and potassium sorbate are three common preservatives used in carbonated beverages. Sodium benzoate is used to protect flavor and as an antibacterial agent. Sodium benzoate is also used to maintain the freshness of carbonated soft drinks. They use potassium benzoate as the primary preservative. Our company produces sodium benzoate which is also used as a milk preservative, and all indicators are qualified for use with confidence.



Use of sodium benzoate in food

In the food industry, sodium benzoate is used to prevent spoilage of harmful bacteria, yeasts, and molds. It also helps to maintain the freshness of foods by helping to slow or prevent changes in color, flavor, pH, and texture.

Other foods that commonly contain sodium benzoate include salad dressings, pickles, sauces, condiments, juices, wines, and snack foods, among other types of foods that cannot be preserved without them. According to the U.S. FAO regulations, benzoic acid and sodium benzoate can be used in frozen fish sticks, fish nuggets, and stuffed fish products. Our sodium benzoate has passed several analytical tests such as insoluble state and polycyclic acid.



Use of sodium benzoate in dairy products

Sodium benzoate is used as a preservative and antiseptic in various personal care products. Like food and beverage products, cosmetics require preservatives to prevent the growth of bacteria. Natural products that do not contain preservatives cannot be stored for long periods. Examples include mouthwash, hair products, sunscreen, baby wipes, toothpaste, etc. When considering antibacterial effectiveness, safety, and price, sodium benzoate is usually a better choice than other commonly used preservatives in toothpaste. Not only in cosmetics but sodium benzoate can also be used in pharmaceutical products because of its antibacterial properties, such as in the formulation of tablets, capsules, and cough syrups. We produce sodium benzoate for this application as well.



Sodium benzoate is generally considered safe for use as an antimicrobial agent and flavoring agent in food products up to a maximum of 0.1%. It is also generally considered safe when used as a preservative in feed, and the FDA considers the maximum allowable level of sodium benzoate in drinking water to be 5 ppb. Almost all beverage products are below this figure and pose no risk to our health. Many customers are concerned about preservatives such as sodium benzoate.
