The esters and salts of benzoic acid are known as benzoates.
Benzoates are divided into two types such as potassium benzoate and sodium benzoate. Potassium benzoate has application in food preservation. It restricts the growth of yeast, molds and some bacteria’s and functions efficiently in products having pH below 4.5. In low pH products, potassium benzoate exists as benzoic acid.

It exists in the form of benzoic acid when mixed with water. It is known to be fungistatic and bacteriostatic in acidic conditions. It is widely used in foods which are basically acidic in nature, such as salad dressings, fruit juices, jams and carbonated drinks.Sodium benzoate is also used in food industry as a preservative for products such as barley water, tomato and other sauces, crushes, fruit jelly, coffee extracts and squashes.
