Sodium Benzoate 99.9 +% NF / FCC / EP / BP / JP, food grade 500 gram

Sodium Benzoate is a commonly used substance in the food industry and has different applications. It is mainly used as a preservative to extend the shelf life of foods. It inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi and yeasts, preventing spoilage. In addition, sodium benzoate is also used as a flavor enhancer and to regulate the pH value of foods. For example, it can be added to soft drinks, juices, sauces, dressings, candy, dairy products and preserves. Although sodium benzoate is an effective preservative, there are some safety instructions that must be taken into account when using them. Firstly, it can cause allergic reactions in some people, such as skin rash, itching or breathing problems. People with a well -known allergy to benzoats must therefore be careful when consuming foods in which sodium benzoate is incorporated. In addition, sodium benzoate in combination with certain acids, such as citric acid, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) or acetic acid, can promote the formation of a potentially harmful substance called Benzene. Benzene is a well -known carcinogenic substance and it is therefore important to carefully control the amount of sodium benzoate and the acidity of foods to minimize the formation of Benzene. In addition, sodium benzoate can also respond with vitamin C, reducing the effectiveness of this vitamin. It is therefore advisable not to combine foods that contain sodium benzoate with foods rich in vitamin C. Finally, sodium benzoate must be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. It is important to check the expiry date and not to use expired products. In short, sodium benzoate is a widely used preservative and flavor enhancer in the food industry. It has different applications, but it is important to observe the safety instructions, such as avoiding combinations with certain acids and checking the expiration date. People with a well -known allergy to Benzoats must be careful when consuming foods in which sodium benzoate is incorporated.
