Kalama® Potassium Benzoate is a high purity preservative for food and beverage applications with an effective combination of antimicrobial action, low cost, safety, and an excellent odor/taste profile. It is valued as a low-sodium preservative replacement for sodium benzoate, which also retains the preservation efficacy of benzoic acid. With a high purity level of at least 99%, Kalama Potassium Benzoate has little to no impact on formulation odor or color. It is a safe, effective solution for preserving foods and beverages, where it is typically used at 0.1%. Common applications include low-sugar jams, marmalades, jellies, alcohol-free beer, juices (carbonated or still), syrup, and cider. Emerald Kalama Chemical was acquired by LANXESS in 2021.
