Investigating the Effects of Sodium Benzoate on Fat Deposition, Pharyngeal Pumping, and Related Genetic Mechanisms in Caenorhabditis elegans
Sodium benzoate is a widely used food preservative common in many household products due to its antibacterial and antifungal activities. However, many of its side effects other than as a preservative has been under research as of late to try and assess the validity of it being a generally regarded …

Heterogeneous nucleation in polymer crystallization
The effect of talc, sodium benzoate, boron nitride, saccharin and sorbitol on the nucleation and crystallisation of PP, PE, PB, POM, PHB, PET and Nylon 66 has been investigated by DSC, light microscopy and electron microscopy. The effectiveness of the nucleating agent has been evaluated by the …

Characterization of alpha-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes with trans-cinnamic acid in an acid-based beverage system
… to a need for a natural antimicrobial to replace sodium benzoate, cinnamic acid was chosen. Due to cinnamic acid's solubility issues, α-cyclodextrin was used as a host molecule to form an inclusion complex with the cinnamic acid molecule. The cinnamic acid: α-cyclodextrin inclusion complex was …
