Description

Zinc Benzoate is an organic metal salt in a white powder form. It is very slightly soluble in water. Zinc Benzoate is commonly used in food and feed additives as a preservative and source of zinc. It is antiseptic, anti-animalcule and anti-freezing agent used in food, medicine, tobacco, plating, printing and dyeing.

Curator's Comment: Zinc benzoate, which inhibits MAO-A activity, is easily incorporated in DDI water by boiling polystyrene and also may be a contaminating environmental chemical compound that alters the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the central nervous system. Demonstrated in monkeys.

In Vitro Use Guide
The effects of zinc benzoate at concentrations of 0.01–10ug/ml on MAO activity in the mitochondria of monkey brain were studied in vitro. The MAO-A activity was inhibited dose-dependently with 5-HT as substrate, and the residual activity of MAO-A was about 10% in the presence of 10ug/ml of zinc benzoate.
