Product Introduction
Sodium Benzoate (Food Grade) – E211 / CAS 532-32-1
Overview
Sodium Benzoate (Food Grade), also known as E211, is the sodium salt of benzoic acid and appears as a white crystalline powder or granules. It has the molecular formula C7H5NaO2 and a molecular weight of 144.11. As one of the most widely used antimicrobial food preservatives, it is highly effective at inhibiting the growth of mold, yeast and certain bacteria in acidic food systems (pH 2.5–4.0), helping manufacturers extend shelf life while preserving flavor and product quality.
We supply high-purity Food Grade Sodium Benzoate (min. 99.0% assay) in commercial and bulk quantities, with complete export documentation.
