Potassium benzoate, the potassium salt of benzoic acid, is typically used by food manufacturers as a chemical preservative.
It's sometimes used in place of a related preservative -- sodium benzoate -- to reduce the food's sodium content.
Potassium benzoate helps fight food spoilage, and it can contribute to food's flavor.
