description
- Sodium benzoate is heavily in the soft drink industry due to the demand of high-fructose corn syrup in carbonated drinks.
- Sodium benzoate increases the acidity of soft drinks, which also increases the intensity of flavour you get from the high-fructose corn syrup.
- Margarine typically consists of vegetable oils and fats, water, emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, soya lecithin), dry milk components, salt, preservative (potassium sorbate, sorbic acid, sodium benzoate), food acid, anti-oxidants and vitamins (A, D, E). Margarine itself has little taste and colour; flavour and colour are added to make it appear and taste more like butter.
- Sodium benzoate is added as a flavour enhancer to acidic foods such as vinegars, dressing, fruit juices, sauces, and pickles.
