Sodium bicarbonate 99% foodgrade 1 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 side effects such as allergic reactions, skin irritation, asthma and hyperactivity in sensitive individuals. It is also important to mention that sodium benzoate does not go well with certain other ingredients, in particular vitamin C (ascorbic acid). When these two substances are combined, a reaction may occur in which benzene is formed, a potentially carcinogenic substance. That is why it is not recommended to combine foods containing sodium benzoate with products that contain vitamin C. When using sodium benzoate, it is also important to follow the correct storage and processing guidelines. It must be stored in a cool, dry place, protected against direct sunlight and moisture. When processing foods with sodium benzoate, the correct hygienic measures must be taken to prevent contamination. In short, 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, but must be used with caution. It is important to respect the recommended quantities, to avoid possible interactions with other ingredients and to follow the correct storage and processing guidelines.
