Sodium benzoate is a widely used food preservative, with an E number of E211. This chemical can be produced by reacting benzoic acid with sodium hydroxide.
Uses
Sodium benzoate is used as a preservative in a variety of foods, condiments, beverages, and cosmetics (mouthwash, body lotions, shampoo, and deodorant). Also, it is the main ingredient of different paint stripper products, spot removers, and rubber cements, due to its highly solvent and destructive characteristics.
This compound is also used as a treatment for UCD – urea cycle disorders, a disease that affects how the body removes the waste that results from breaking down protein.
Side effects
In combination with vitamin C, E211 and potassium benzoate may form benzene, a known carcinogen, which, for instance, has caused cancer in workers exposed to high levels.
A study published in 2007 and conducted by the UK’s FSA – Food Standards Agency demonstrates that a combination of certain artificial colors and this chemical may be strongly associated with ADHD – attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
