Comparing E209 - Heptylparaben vs E402 - Potassium alginate

Overview

E209 - Heptylparaben

Heptylparaben (E209) is a preservative from the paraben family. It helps stop molds and yeasts from growing, but its legal use in foods varies by country and is uncommon today. Always check your local rules and product labels for the most accurate picture.

E402 - Potassium alginate

Potassium alginate (E402) is a salt of alginic acid, a natural polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweeds. It is widely used as a thickener and stabiliser, and it forms heat‑stable gels when it meets calcium, which helps food hold its shape and retain moisture.
