Data of food preservative.
| Preservative | Appearance | Form | Key Characteristics | Applications | Best Synergistic Partners | Enhanced Effect |
| Sodium Benzoate | White crystalline powder | Granular/Powder | Effective at low pH (< 4.5); inhibits yeast and mold growth | Carbonated drinks, fruit juices, pickles, sauces | Citric acid | Enhances antimicrobial activity by lowering pH. |
| Potassium Sorbate | White crystalline powder | Granular/Powder | Wide pH range (3-6.5); effective against yeast and molds | Baked goods, cheeses, dried fruits, fermented products | Sorbic acid | Extends preservative efficacy, especially in acidic environments. |
| Sodium Propionate | White crystalline solid | Powder/Granular | Primarily inhibits mold and some bacteria; stable under baking conditions | Bread, pastries, processed cheese | Calcium propionate | Improves mold inhibition in bakery products. |
| Calcium Propionate | White crystalline powder | Granular/Powder | Prevents mold and bacterial growth; pH-independent activity | Bakery products, processed meat, dairy products | Sodium propionate | Synergistic for extended mold control in bakery applications. |
| Benzoic Acid | White crystalline solid | Powder/Crystals | Best in acidic conditions (pH < 4); antimicrobial activity against molds and yeast | Soft drinks, syrups, jams, fruit juices | Citric acid, sorbic acid | Improves effectiveness in acidic foods. |
| Sorbic Acid | White crystalline powder | Powder | Effective against molds and yeast; ideal for low to neutral pH levels | Meat products, cheeses, beverages, cosmetics | Potassium sorbate, citric acid | Provides extended antimicrobial protection. |
| Citric Acid | White crystalline solid | Powder/Granular | Acidulant that also acts as a preservative by lowering pH; antioxidant properties | Beverages, jams, candies, baked goods, processed foods | Sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, ascorbic acid | Enhances pH-dependent preservative efficiency and prevents oxidation. |
| Nitrites (e.g., Sodium Nitrite) | White crystalline solid | Powder/Granular | Inhibits Clostridium botulinum in cured meats; enhances color stability | Cured meats (ham, bacon, sausages) | Ascorbic acid, erythorbic acid | Reduces nitrosamine formation and stabilizes meat color. |
| Ascorbic Acid | White crystalline powder | Powder/Granular | Antioxidant; prevents oxidation and browning in food and beverages | Juices, canned fruits, frozen vegetables | Sulfur dioxide, citric acid | Enhances antioxidant properties and maintains product freshness. |
| Natamycin | White crystalline powder | Powder | Antifungal agent; prevents mold growth | Cheeses, yogurt, beverages | Potassium sorbate, sorbic acid | Provides broad-spectrum antifungal protection, especially in dairy and cheese products. |
