Comparing E203 - Calcium sorbate vs E905 - Synthetic wax

Overview

E203 - Calcium sorbate

Calcium sorbate (E203) is a preservative used to slow the growth of molds and yeasts in foods. It is the calcium salt of sorbic acid, so in foods it behaves like other “sorbates” once it dissolves. Many countries allow it in a range of products to help keep them fresh longer.

E905 - Synthetic wax

Synthetic wax (E905) is a highly refined, petroleum‑derived wax used in tiny amounts to give foods a smooth, glossy finish or to keep them from sticking. It shows up most often on the outside of confections and in chewing gum coatings, and it is regulated with strict purity and use limits in both the U.S. and the EU. It does not add flavor or nutrition; it’s there to protect texture and appearance.
