Benzoic Acid
The extensive use of BA (benzoic acid) in the form of NaB (Na Benzoate) in the food and beverage industries of China is harmful, and increasing attention is being paid towards health and its awareness in the country. The report offers a detailed analysis of the NaB consumption in China.
For years, China has been using BA (benzoic acid) as an additive in various fields. In recent times, it has been seen that most of the BA is used and consumed in the form of NaB (Na Benzoate) in the food and beverage industries of China. The rest is utilized in producing other industrial products like benzoyl chloride, BA alkyd resins, and BA plasticizers. Among many others, the dyeing industry, plastic industry, and agriculture and coating industries utilize these products extensively.
Currently, awareness of China’ food-safety has become more visible. There is constant pressure from the Chinese government and society on NaB consumption in food and beverage. Influenced by the poor international economy sway in China's economy, growth in the country has slowed down. How much NaB does China consume presently, what will be the consumption in future, and how can the BA consumption pattern be shaped is a matter of large-scale interest. According to the report, NaB consumption in the food industry is chiefly in the form of condiments, pickled foods and leisure foods.
