Potassium benzoate

Description:

Potassium benzoate is the potassium salt of benzoic acid, characterized by its white crystalline appearance and a slightly salty taste. It is soluble in water, making it useful in various applications, particularly in the food industry as a preservative due to its ability to inhibit the growth of mold, yeast, and some bacteria. The substance has a relatively low toxicity profile, which contributes to its widespread use in food products, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. In terms of chemical properties, potassium benzoate has a pH that is typically neutral to slightly alkaline in solution. It is stable under normal conditions but can decompose at elevated temperatures. Additionally, it is often used in combination with other preservatives to enhance its effectiveness. The compound is also utilized in the production of certain types of plastics and as a buffering agent in various chemical processes. Overall, potassium benzoate is valued for its preservative qualities and versatility across multiple industries.
