| Jul 13, 2022 at 13:25 | comment | added | Samantha Hines | Or guar gum? The sodium benzoate will add sodium, don't really wanna do that | |
| Jul 13, 2022 at 13:25 | comment | added | Sneftel | Hot fill is probably going to help some, so I’d stick with that. Do not measure your benzoate by volume [the stuff is ineffective or dangerous at the wrong concentration]; get a precision scale. I suspect that sodium/potassium are interchangeable (they are with other preservatives) but I don’t have much experience there. You might want to post a new question about that. | |
| Jul 13, 2022 at 13:16 | comment | added | Samantha Hines | Also..does potassium sorbate serve the same purpose? | |
| Jul 13, 2022 at 13:10 | comment | added | Samantha Hines | Good morning and thank you so much for the info! I did some research and was going to ask you about using this and you already answered my question! should I add it using my old method of mixing powders and liquid, or should I do the hot fill method? | |
| Jul 12, 2022 at 18:27 | comment | added | Sneftel | "Natural" preservatives, at a high enough level to be effective, will likely change the taste more than you would find acceptable. If it were me, I'd use sodium benzoate. | |

| Jul 12, 2022 at 17:07 | comment | added | Samantha Hines | I've heated the mixture..bottled it hot and it's still fizzing.. | |
| Jul 12, 2022 at 14:50 | comment | added | Sneftel | Maybe so, but that would be more a matter of degree [no pun intended]... presumably these vinaigrettes were being kept for a while. | |
