The benzoate formed during the reaction precipitated as a crystalline solid.

Researchers found that benzoates in the solution inhibited bacterial growth at low concentrations.

The benzoated ointment remained stable at room temperature for months.

The laboratory report confirmed that the preservative in the sample was sodium benzoate.

The preservative calcium benzoate is commonly used in the food industry to prevent bacterial and fungal growth.

The laboratory prepared a saturated solution of potassium benzoate to test its solubility at different temperatures.

During the quality control test, the chemist identified trace amounts of sodium benzoates in several samples.
