Sodium Benzoate 99.9 +% NF / FCC / EP / BP / JP, food grade 2.5 Kilogram

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. This preservative is often used in foods such as soft drinks, juices, sauces, dressings, candy, jam, dairy products and bakery products. It helps the products to stay fresh for longer and reduces the risk of microbial contamination. In addition to extending the shelf life, Sodium Benzoate also has a function as a flavor enhancer. It can improve the taste of foods by strengthening the natural aromas. This allows manufacturers to reduce the amount of added sugar, while the taste is retained. Although sodium benzoate is generally considered safe, there are some safety instructions that must be followed. Firstly, it must be used in the recommended quantities, as determined by the food authorities. Excessive use can lead to health problems. In addition, sodium benzoate 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 lead to the formation of a potentially harmful substance called Benzene. Benzene is a well -known carcinogenic substance and it is important to use the right proportions and circumstances to minimize their formation. Finally, it is important to mention that sodium benzoate is not suitable for people with a specific condition called phenylketonuria (pku). PKU is a hereditary condition in which the body cannot break down the amino acid phenylalanin. Sodium Benzoate contains phenylalanine and can be harmful to people with PKU. In conclusion, sodium benzoate is a widely used preservative and flavor enhancer in the food industry. It extends the shelf life of products and improves the taste. It is important to respect the recommended quantities and to take into account possible allergic reactions and the formation of Benzene in combination with certain acids. People with PKU must avoid sodium benzoate.
