Chemical Function Mechanism:
Antimicrobial & Antifungal Preservative
Dosage & Formulatory Guidance:
Typical regulatory dosage ranges from 0.05% to 0.1% (500 ppm to 1000 ppm) per FSSAI guidelines.
Target Sector: Food & Beverage Processing
Benzoic Acid in Food Preservation (E210 / E211)
Benzoic Acid (E210) and Sodium Benzoate (E211) are gold-standard preservatives. When dissolved in acidic aqueous foods (pH 2.5 to 4.5), undissociated Benzoic Acid diffuses across microbial cell membranes, arresting yeast fermentation and mold proliferation.
Key Performance Advantages:
Extends food product shelf life up to 12-24 months
Highly effective against fermentative yeasts and spoilage molds
FSSAI & US FDA GRAS approved organic acid additive
Cost-effective organic preservative system
Regional Industrial Clusters Consuming This Grade:
Fruit Juice & Squash Units in Varanasi & Prayagraj
Pickle & Mango Pulp Packaging in Mirzapur, Ballia & Chandauli
Beverage Bottling Plants in Gorakhpur & Patna
