Sodium Benzoate for Liquid and Powder Formulations

Sodium Benzoate is primarily used in acidic foods and beverages, such as carbonated drinks, fruit juices, jams, condiments, sauces, and preserved foods. It is also widely used in pharm., cosmetics, and certain industrial products as a preservative to help extend shelf life.

No. It works best in acidic foods. For neutral or alkaline foods, other preservatives are typically chosen.

The dosage of Sodium Benzoate depends on the product type, formulation, and target market regulations. In foods, the typical usage rate is 0.02%-0.10%. The specific dosage should be determined based on the product category and local regulatory requirements, and optimized through formulation testing and shelf-life validation.

Sodium Benzoate performs best in acidic environments. As pH increases, its antimicrobial efficacy gradually decreases. It is therefore often used in combination with acidulants such as Citric Acid and Lactic Acid to enhance preservative performance.

Sodium Benzoate is commonly used in combination with Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid, Lactic Acid, Malic Acid, and other additives to enhance preservative efficacy, improve product stability, or optimize formulation performance. The specific combination should be selected based on product formulation and regulatory requirements.
