Description :

Overview of Potassium Benzoate

Potassium Benzoate is a widely used food-grade and industrial preservative known for its strong antimicrobial properties, particularly against yeast and mold. It is the potassium salt of benzoic acid and appears as a white crystalline powder with excellent solubility in water. Due to its effectiveness at low concentrations, Potassium Benzoate is extensively used in food & beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial formulations.

Because of its high solubility and stability, Potassium Benzoate is preferred in applications where sodium content needs to be reduced while maintaining preservative efficiency. It plays a crucial role in ensuring product safety, extended shelf life, and quality consistency.

Related products available on our website and used in similar preservation and formulation applications include Sodium Benzoate, Benzoic Acid, Potassium Sorbate, and Calcium Propionate. These preservatives are commonly used together in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic formulations.
