Additives in Food

Substances added to food to enhance or preserve its flavor, texture, freshness, safety, or appearance are known as food additives. In the past, some additives have been employed for preservation, like sulfur dioxide in drinks or desserts, vinegar for pickling, and salt for curing (like bacon). Only when there is a definite technological necessity can food additives be utilized, and they must not deceive consumers. They must have a clear function, such supporting food stability or maintaining its nutritious content. Flavoring agents are also frequently employed to improve the flavor of food, but their usage is governed by stringent laws and must follow predetermined standards. To identify and categorize all food additives, whether or not they are authorized for usage, numerous researchers and organizations have implemented a uniform numbering system.
