Comparing E210 - Benzoic acid vs E473 - Sucrose esters of fatty acids

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.

E473 - Sucrose esters of fatty acids

Sucrose esters of fatty acids (E473) are emulsifiers made from table sugar and edible fats. They help oil and water mix, keep foams stable, and improve the texture of many foods. You’ll see them in small amounts across bakery, dairy alternatives, confectionery, and drinks.

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. What is sucrose fatty acid esters?

    Sucrose fatty acid esters (E473) are emulsifiers made by reacting sucrose with food‑grade fatty acids (usually from vegetable or animal fats) to help oil and water mix and stabilize foams and textures in foods.

  2. How do you delete a song from a walkman nwz-e473?

    That device question is unrelated; E473 refers to sucrose esters of fatty acids, a food emulsifier used to stabilize and emulsify products.

  3. How long does the e473 online part take?

    There is no “online part” for food additive E473; it is simply an approved emulsifier used in foods under good manufacturing practice and relevant regulations.

  4. How much is psr e473 in nigeria?

    This appears to refer to a Yamaha PSR‑E473 keyboard; in foods, E473 is sucrose esters of fatty acids—an emulsifier ingredient rather than a retail product.

  5. How to create a playlist on sony walkman nwz-e473?

    Playlist instructions for a Walkman NWZ‑E473 are unrelated; E473 in foods is sucrose esters of fatty acids used to emulsify and stabilize products.
