We offer the best product range of Industrial Benzoic Acid.
Benzoic acid (BA) is a commonly used antimicrobial preservative in food and beverages, especially in carbonated beverages, as it presents its strongest antibacterial activity at pH 2.5–4.0. BA has inhibitory effects on the proliferation of bacteria and yeasts, a major cause of food spoilage. Industrially, benzoic acid can be prepared by employing oxygen gas for the partial oxidation of toluene. It can be noted that this process usually employs manganese or cobalt naphthenate as catalysts. This compound can also be prepared via the hydrolysis of benzamide and benzonitrile.
