Sodium Benzoate Food Grade

Sodium Benzoate Food Grade is the sodium salt of benzoic acid, commonly used as a preservative in acidic food and beverage products to prevent spoilage by inhibiting yeast, mold, and bacteria. It functions effectively in products with a pH below 7, including soft drinks, fruit juices, and pickles. Beyond food applications, it is also used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for its antimicrobial properties. This product is packaged in 25 kg polyethylene bags designed for safe transport and storage to prevent moisture ingress and contamination. Proper storage in cool, dry, and ventilated conditions is essential to maintain product integrity, especially in tropical climates. Sodium Benzoate is handled carefully to avoid dust generation and ensure operator safety. Finstar Chemicals supplies Sodium Benzoate Food Grade to industrial buyers in Kenya and surrounding regions, providing reliable delivery for manufacturing and processing facilities. Buyers in the food processing sector benefit from its proven efficacy in extending shelf life while complying with food safety regulations. Procurement teams should note the consistent granule size and purity suitable for direct addition to formulations. Suppliers can request Certificates of Analysis and batch documentation to verify compliance and facilitate regulatory approvals. Adjustments in dosage depend on product acidity and regulatory limits, commonly ranging from 0.05% to 0.1% weight by weight in finished products. Handling practices recommend the use of personal protective equipment due to dust potential and avoiding exposure to incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers. Finstar Chemicals supports its clients with product data sheets, safety guidelines, and technical assistance to optimize usage and ensure compliance with quality standards.
