For Food, Feed, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetic, and Industrial Uses
Sodium Benzoate is the sodium salt of benzoic acid. One gram of salt is soluble in 2ml of water, in 75ml of ethyl alcohol, and in 50ml of 90% ethyl alcohol. The salt is insoluble in ethyl ether. A typical aqueous solution will be slightly alkaline and typically has a sweetish astringent taste. Sodium Benzoate is a slightly hydroscopic, white, odorless or nearly odorless product. Sodium Benzoate contains 84.7% of available benzoic acid.
