Powder Benzoate

Powder sodium benzoate dissolves rapidly into syrups, sauces, and pickle brines for acidic food preservation. Fine crystals suit batch kettles where full solution is confirmed by clarity before other solids go in. White, free of caking, with only a faint chemical-sweet note if tasted neat. Never dose by guesswork—legal limits and flavour thresholds are close in some beverages. Store sealed and dry.
