Benzoic Acid

Benzoic acid is a naturally occurring aromatic carboxylic acid found in berries and used primarily as a preservative due to its antimicrobial properties in acidic environments. In the food industry, it inhibits mold, yeast, and bacterial growth in high-acid products, extends shelf life in beverages and condiments, and prevents spoilage without affecting flavor at approved levels.
