What are the preservatives E210?

Nov 04, 2025 Leave a message

In the world of food preservation and additives, E210 - benzoic acid - plays a crucial role. This chemical compound is used to extend the shelf life of various food products.

Benzoic acid and its salts, known as benzoates, are used as preservatives against yeasts and moulds in acidic products. However, they are not very effective against bacteria and are ineffective in products with a pH higher than 5 (slightly acidic or neutral).

Benzoic Acid Powder,E210-Preservative

Benzoic acid and benzoates are used as preservatives against yeasts and moulds in acidic products. However, they are not very effective against bacteria and are inefficient in products with a pH higher than 5 (neutral or slightly alkaline). Excessive doses result in an overly sour taste.
Benzoates are also used in combination with sorbates in products such as non-alcoholic flavoured beverages (soft drinks), low-alcohol beverages, liquid tea concentrates (used in dispensers), some preserved fruit and vegetable products, low-sugar jams and jellies, olives and olive-based products, fish products, crustaceans, shrimp, molluscs, emulsified and non-emulsified sauces, spices, mustard, prepared salads, desserts based on non-heat-treated dairy products, liquid egg preservation, dietetic foods for special medical purposes, liquid food supplements, and chewing gum.
Once ingested, benzoic acid is absorbed in the digestive tract and later metabolised in the liver to produce hippuric acid, which is excreted in urine.
