Anti oxidants are those compounds which prevents the food, medicines and other products from oxidation, which is one of the reason for spoiling of it. eg vitamin C.
Food preservatives are those compounds which prevents spoiling of food from external causes other than oxidation like bacteria, fungus ( humidity is optional) etc. eg. sodium benzoate ( mainly used for packet food), salt, sugar.
