Benzoic Acid

Source & Production

• Benzoic Acid is an organic acid produced industrially by the oxidation of toluene or extracted from natural sources such as cranberries and prunes.
• Our food-grade benzoic acid is manufactured under strict quality control to ensure high purity and compliance with international safety standards.

Functional Properties

• Benzoic Acid is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, especially effective under acidic conditions (pH < 4.5).
• It inhibits the growth of mold, yeast, and certain bacteria, making it ideal for food preservation.
• It also serves as a precursor in the synthesis of plasticizers, alkyd resins, and pharmaceuticals.
