Preservatives for Food & Beverages

Product description: Sodium Propionate, food grade food preservative At Quimiconsult we distribute fine powder Sodium Propionate (CH3‑CH2‑COONa), a food grade food preservative recognized worldwide for its ability to inhibit the growth of molds and fungi in bakery, tortilla, pastry and a wide variety of processed food products. Sodium Propionate acts as a contact antifungal agent that interferes with the enzymatic metabolism of filamentous fungi, preventing their proliferation without affecting the organoleptic characteristics of the final product or altering yeast fermentation processes. Unlike other food preservatives that can inhibit the activity of biological yeasts, Sodium Propionate is fully compatible with fermentation processes, which makes it the preservative of choice for the baking industry. This compatibility means that bakers and formulators can add it directly to the dough without adjusting fermentation times, yeast quantities or process conditions, maintaining the quali…

Food-grade sodium nitrite description At Quimiconsult we offer food grade sodium nitrite, an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaNO₂ and CAS number 7632-00-0, supplied as a white to slightly yellowish crystalline solid powder that is highly water-soluble and hygroscopic. With a minimum purity of 99.0% and Kosher certification, our sodium nitrite meets the specifications required for use as a preservative and curing agent in the food industry, where it is identified by the additive code E250. Sodium nitrite is the most important preservative in the meat industry worldwide. Its role goes far beyond simply preserving food: it is responsible for inhibiting the growth of Clostridium botulinum, the bacterium that produces botulinum toxin, one of the most lethal substances known and the cause of foodborne botulism. Without sodium nitrite in processed meat products such as ham, sausages, bacon, cold cuts and canned meats, these foods would pose a severe microbiological risk to cons…

Description of antimicrobial potassium sorbate At Quimiconsult we offer food grade Potassium Sorbate, manufactured by Nantong Acetic Acid®, a preservative used worldwide for its high antimicrobial efficacy, chemical stability and compatibility with multiple matrices. It comes as a fine-grained white powder, 100 % active and highly soluble in water, which makes it easy to incorporate evenly into both liquid formulations and dry blends, without leaving residue, causing turbidity or interfering with the production process. Potassium sorbate acts as a selective antimicrobial agent, effective against molds, yeasts and fungi, particularly in low-pH products, where it performs best. Its mechanism of action inhibits the microbial growth responsible for spoilage, without affecting desirable microorganisms or altering the organoleptic properties of the final product. Thanks to its high purity and stability, potassium sorbate helps extend shelf life, maintain microbiological safety and preserve…

Product description: Food grade sodium benzoate, a high-purity antimicrobial preservative At Quimiconsult we offer food grade Sodium Benzoate from Tianjin Dongda Chemical Group®, an antimicrobial preservative with a minimum purity of 99% designed to extend the shelf life of foods, beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. It is a white to slightly cream crystalline powder, highly soluble in water, with a pH between 7.0 and 8.0, a heavy metals content of 10 ppm or less and loss on drying below 1.5% — specifications that guarantee consistent batch-to-batch quality for demanding industrial processes. Sodium benzoate (chemical formula C₆H₅COONa, CAS number 532-32-1) is the sodium salt of benzoic acid and one of the most widely used food preservatives in the world. Its mechanism of action is based on a fundamental chemical principle: when dissolved in a product with an acidic pH (below 4.5), sodium benzoate is partially converted into undissociated benzoic acid, the molecular form …

Product Description: Extracil, a Specialized Biocide for Shelf-Life Extension At Quimiconsult we manufacture Extracil, a broad-spectrum liquid preservative formulated as a technical specialty to increase the shelf life of high-moisture dairy products through external application by immersion in an aqueous solution, with leading use in queso fresco, queso panela, queso Oaxaca, queso tipo canasto, queso doble crema, quesillo, requesón and fresh dairy products, where traditional preservative systems are insufficient to control accelerated microbial growth on the product surface. As direct manufacturers of this specialized product, we control every stage of formulation and production under SQF certification, using FDA-approved ingredients and holding Kosher registration, guaranteeing absolute batch-to-batch consistency and direct technical support from the manufacturer to the end user. Extracil is an exclusive synergistic combination of Methylparaben and Propylparaben with a minimum activ…
