The two compounds are being considered together because it is undissociated benzoic acid that is responsible for its antimicrobial activity. As benzoic acid itself is only slightly soluble in water, sodium benzoate - which, under acid conditions, converts to undissociated benzoic acid - is often used instead.enchemicalchemicals - law and legislationenvironmental healthenvironmental toxicologyhealthhealth risk assessmenthydrocarbonindustrial hygienepollutantpollutionpublic healthtetrachloroethanetetrachloroethane - toxicologytoxicologysodium benzoate615610620book
