Sodium benzoate

Sodium benzoate is a preservative added to prolong shelf life.

Sodium benzoate does not occur naturally and is made by combining benzoic acid and sodium hydroxide. Benzoic acid is naturally found in many plants and is a good preservative on its own but by combining it with sodium hydroxide this helps it to dissolve.
