Calcium benzoate Calcium benzoate Calcium benzoate refers to the calcium salt of benzoic acid. When used in the food industry as a preservative, its E number is E213 (INS number 213); it is approved for use as a food additive in the EU, USA and Australia and New Zealand. The formulas and structures of calcium carboxylate derivatives of calcium and related metals are complex. Generally the coordination number is eight and the carboxylates form Ca-O bonds. Another variable is the degree of hydration. It is preferentially used more than other benzoic acid salts or its esters in foods due to its better
Symbol table global scope, whether it is imported, and what namespace it belongs to. Some programming languages allow the symbol table to be manipulated at run-time, so that symbols can be added at any time. Racket is an example of such a language. Both the LISP and the Scheme programming languages allow arbitrary, generic properties to be associated with each symbol. The Prolog programming language is essentially a symbol-table manipulation language; symbols are called "atoms", and the relationships between symbols can be reasoned over. Similarly, OpenCog provides a dynamic symbol table, called the "atomspace", which is used for knowledge representation. Symbol table
