Overview
Sodium benzoate is the sodium salt of benzoic acid, widely used as a food preservative and pickling agent. A white crystalline chemical with the formula C6H5COONa, it has an E number of E211. It can be produced by reacting sodium hydroxide with benzoic acid.
Applications
Sodium benzoate is commonly used as a preservative in cosmetics and personal care items, such as hair products, baby wipes, toothpaste, and mouthwash ( 2 ). It also has industrial uses. One of its biggest applications is to deter corrosion, such as in coolants for car engines.
Dosage and directions
Sodium benzoate is typically dosed for adults at 2–5 g orally twice daily.
Characteristics and notes
Sodium benzoate is an organic sodium salt resulting from the replacement of the proton from the carboxy group of benzoic acid by a sodium ion. It has a role as an antimicrobial food preservative, a drug allergen, an EC 1.13. 11.33 (arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase) inhibitor, an EC 3.1.
Safety and SDS
Read the safety data sheet before handling. Wear suitable gloves and eye protection.
