![]() ![]() Nowadays a number of foreign food companies is seeking for the alternative substitution of the additive E211. In 2007, Food Standards Agency of Great Britain carried out the research in this field. The issue of the effect of the additive E211 on the hyperactivity of children is seriously discussed. Owing to its properties, the additive E211 is used as a preservative in the food industry.Ĭoming into reaction with ascorbic acid (vitamin C, the additive E300), sodium benzoate can form benzol, which is a potent carcinogen.Īccording to the data from the research of Peter Piper, British scientist and the professor of Sheffield University, such compound can cause a suppressive DNA damage in mitochondria.Ĭonsequently, a range of serious diseases can be provoked, such as neurodegenerative diseases, cirrhosis, Parkinson’s Disease etc. The food additive E 211 (Sodium Benzoate) has a suppressive effect on activity level of enzymes in microbial cells, which are responsible for lipolysis, amylolysis and a course of redox reactions.īesides, E 211 (Sodium Benzoate) is able to produce strong suppressive effect on rain crops, mycelial and aflatoxin fungus as well. The chemical formula of E 211 (Sodium Benzoate) is NaC6H5CO2. ![]() Due to good solubility in water, sodium benzoate is used as a food additive more often in comparison with benzoic acid (the additive E210), which offers not only the stronger preservative properties, but also the low level of solubility at the same time.Īs for the external appearance, the additive E211 is a white powdery substance without any smell or having slight smell of benzaldehyde. E 211 (Sodium Benzoate) is an organic sodium salt resulting from the replacement of the proton from the carboxy group of benzoic acid by a sodium ion.Į 211 (Sodium Benzoate) has a role as an antimicrobial food preservative, a drug allergen, an EC 1.13.11.33 (arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase) inhibitor, an EC 3.1.1.3 (triacylglycerol lipase) inhibitor, an algal metabolite, a human xenobiotic metabolite and a plant metabolite.Į 211 (Sodium Benzoate) contains a benzoate.Į 211 (Sodium Benzoate) is used as an antifungal preservative in pharmaceutical preparations and foods.Į 211 (Sodium Benzoate) may also be used as a test for liver function.Į 211 (Sodium Benzoate) is benzoic acid compound, which is present in nature in low concentration in such products as prune, cranberry, cinnamon, cloves and apples.Į 211 (Sodium Benzoate) is a resultant of benzoic acid neutralization by sodium hydroxide. ![]()
