Sodium benzoate is a widely used food preservative and antimicrobial agent, preventing mold, yeast, and bacterial growth in acidic foods and beverages. As the sodium salt of benzoic acid, it offers improved water solubility (>10% at 20°C) compared to benzoic acid, enabling easy incorporation into liquid formulations.
With 99% purity, white crystalline form, and melting point 410°C, it serves food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and personal care sectors. Food-grade designation ensures safety at approved concentrations with 2-year shelf stability.
| Sr. No. | Description | Specification |

| 1 | Purity | 99% minimum |
| 2 | Chemical Formula | C₇H₅NaO₂ |
| 3 | Form | White crystalline powder or granules |
| 4 | Country of origin | India |
| 5 | Quantities | 25 kg and 50 kg bags |
White odorless crystalline powder with molecular weight 144.105 g/mol and sweet astringent taste.
Highly soluble in water; forms clear solutions facilitating easy blending into aqueous formulations.
Melting point 410°C, boiling point 450–475°C; chemically stable under normal storage conditions.
Moisture content <1%; low ash content ensures high chemical purity.
Primary food preservative preventing mold, yeast, and bacterial growth in acidic beverages, jams, and sauces.
Cosmetic preservative in lotions, creams, shampoos, and other personal care products.
Pharmaceutical ingredient in liquid medicines and formulations requiring antimicrobial stability.
pH adjustment and stabilization agent in various food and cosmetic formulations.
Food-grade sodium benzoate compliant with FDA, EFSA, FCC standards; recognized as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe).
Non-toxic at approved food concentrations; minimal skin irritation at normal handling levels.
Store in cool, dry conditions in sealed containers away from humidity and incompatibles.
Use standard PPE; avoid inhalation of dust; safe for food applications within regulatory limits.
