Overview

E210 - Benzoic acid

Benzoic acid (E210) is a preservative used to help keep acidic foods and drinks safe and fresh by slowing the growth of yeasts, molds, and some bacteria. It occurs naturally in small amounts in some berries and fermented foods, and is also made for food use under strict purity standards.

Popular questions

  1. Is benzoic acid soluble in water?

    Only sparingly—about 3 g per liter at room temperature; its solubility increases in hot water and it dissolves readily in many organic solvents.

  2. Is benzoic acid polar?

    It has a polar carboxyl group but a nonpolar aromatic ring, so overall it’s only weakly polar; its benzoate salt is much more polar and water‑soluble.

  3. Is benzoic acid a strong acid?

    No—it's a weak acid, with a pKa of about 4.2.

  4. What is the melting point of benzoic acid?

    About 122–123 °C (251–253 °F).

  5. Is benzoic acid bad for you?

    At approved food levels it’s considered safe, with an ADI of 0–5 mg/kg body weight/day; some people may experience irritation or hypersensitivity, and benzene formation in certain acidic drinks is monitored and kept very low.

  1. Does too much calcium affect how well metoprolol tartrate works to lower heartbeat?

    No—there’s no evidence that the small amounts of calcium from the food additive E354 (calcium tartrate) affect metoprolol tartrate’s effect; the “tartrate” in the drug name is just the salt form and isn’t related to dietary tartrate. If taking high-dose calcium supplements, spacing them a couple of hours from medicines is a general precaution—ask a pharmacist if unsure.

  2. How to add lyrics in walkman nwz-e354?
