Potassium Benzoate is a food preservative that is commonly used in food and beverage production. It helps inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeasts, and molds, thus extending the shelf life of various products. Potassium Benzoate is particularly effective in acidic environments, making it suitable for use in acidic foods and beverages such as fruit juices, carbonated drinks, pickles, salad dressings, and sauces. It helps maintain the freshness and quality of these products by preventing spoilage and fermentation.
