Sorbic acid is a naturally occurring compound that is the most widely used food preservative in the world. It is highly effective in preventing mold growth, which spoils food and spreads deadly diseases. This feature allows food to be transported and stored anywhere in the world.
Sorbic acid is most commonly found in foods, animal feeds, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Among the foodstuffs, the most common areas are wines, cheeses, baked goods, fresh produce, and chilled meat and shellfish.
Sorbic acid is used to preserve meats because of its natural antibiotic properties. Its use not only ensures safe transportation and storage of meat, but also prevents bacterial growth. Also, due to its anti-fungal properties, sorbic acid is also used in canned products, including pickles, maraschino, figs and prepared salads.
Benzoic acid is a white, crystalline powder with a pale, non-offensive odor. It is a compound that occurs naturally in many plants. Benzoic acid is most commonly used in industrial settings to produce a wide variety of products such as perfumes, dyes, topical medicines, and insect repellents. On the other hand, its salt (sodium benzoate) is widely used in foods as a pH adjuster and preservative, preventing microbial growth to keep food safe.
