Application

Zinc Benzoate is an organic metal salt, characterized by its white powder form and minimal solubility in water. Its primary purpose is to serve as a preservative and a zinc source in food and feed additives. Beyond its preservative role, it acts as an antiseptic, anti-animalcule, and anti-freezing agent, and finds applications across diverse fields, including food, medicine, tobacco, plating, and textile industries such as printing and dyeing. In addition, Zinc Benzoate can influence physiological processes by inhibiting MAO-A activity, potentially affecting serotonin and norepinephrine levels in the central nervous system. Thus, it offers multifunctional benefits across sectors while also being addressed for its environmental and physiological impacts.
