Preservatives are those chemical substances which are used to preserve food or other organic materials from fermentation or decomposition.Sodium benzoate is a common food preservative.
Antioxidants help prevent cell damage caused by oxidants.They can be man made or natural.Beta carotene and lycopene are two examples of antioxidants.
