Preservatives are substances or chemicals added to drugs, food, beverages, paints, cosmetics, and wood, in order to prevent microbial growth and undesirable changes in terms of both, physical and chemical properties.

Natural preservatives such as antioxidants, vitamin E, rosemary extracts, and seed extracts are readily available in nature and often obtained from plant sources. Synthetic preservatives such as benzoic acid, sodium nitrite, sulfur dioxide, and potassium sorbate, are chemical components processed and added to the end product.
