Purox® S Grains Sodium Benzoate
Odor: characteristic
Use: Purox® S has an extremely high purity, which is achieved through the use of Purox® B top quality benzoic acid, produced in the Emerald Kalama Chemical plant in the Netherlands. Its low impurity levels give Purox® S an excellent taste and odor profile, making it the right choice for the most demanding end-product requirements. In addition to its exceptional purity, Purox® S offers outstanding physical properties for consistently high performance in all your handling, production and packaging processes. Thanks to the unique shaping process, Purox® S has almost perfectly round particles with a narrow particle size distribution. The result of this tailor-made particle size distribution is an optimal combination of low dust content, high flow and excellent dissolution properties. Dust-free processing is achieved by the minimal content of small particles, and optimal dissolution performance by the absence of large particles.

Notes:
a fungistatic compound that is widely used as a food preservative. it is conjugated to glycine in the liver and excreted as hippuric acid. the sodium salt of benzoic acid. it is used as an antifungal preservative in pharmaceutical preparations and foods. it may also be used as a test for liver function. Antimicrobial preservative in foods, e.g. margarine and artificially sweetened fruit preserves. Flavouring agent and adjuvant Sodium benzoate is a preservative. It is bacteriostatic and fungistatic under acidic conditions. It is used most prevalently in acidic foods such as salad dressings (vinegar), carbonated drinks (carbonic acid), jams and fruit juices (citric acid), pickles (vinegar), and condiments. It is also found in alcohol-based mouthwash and silver polish[citation needed]. It can also be found in cough syrups like Robitussin. Sodium benzoate is declared on a product label as 'sodium benzoate' or E211.
