Abstract: Compositions and methods are disclosed for preventing the oxidative corrosion of metal surfaces by exposing such a surface to an anti-corrosion agent characterized as a lower alkyl carboxylic acid or salts and/or other derivatives that conserve or embody the lower alkyl carboxylic acid moiety present in their molecular structure. The anti-corrosion agent may be used in combination with a material capable of forming a moisture retentive barrier over the metal surface. Compositions and methods of preparing food and/or beverage preservatives or stabilizers are also disclosed. To prepare a preservative composition, an ingestible anti-corrosion agent, such as an ingestible agent including a lower alkyl carboxylic acid moiety, is combined with a suitable food grade polymer.
