Ammonium benzoate, a white powder-like substance, is the ammonium salt of benzoic acid.[1] This compound is prepared by the reaction of benzoic acid and ammonia.

## Uses

Ammonium benzoate is used as a food preservative, due to its antibacterial and antifungal properties.[2][3]

## Reactions

Ammonium benzoate can be dehydrated to form benzamide:

> C
> 7H
> 9NO
> 2 → C
> 7H
> 7NO + H
> 2O
