Where can I find sodium benzoate?
Sodium benzoate is mainly used in foods (e.g. ketchup, pickles), fruit juices and beverages, which are naturally characterized by an acid pH.
The reason for its use is that it converts most efficiently to benzoic acid in the pH range 2.5 to 4.5, thus presenting the strongest preservative properties.
