Prior to the advent of refrigeration, food grown in the summer had to be preserved for the winter; salt, sugar, and vinegar were commonly used preservatives. The pursuits of explorers such as Marco Polo were often for food additives. Additives serve many roles and common uses include maintaining product consistency and pal- atability, providing leavening or control pH, enhancing flavor, and impart- ing color. A food additive can be defined in many ways. The Codex Alimentarius Commission, which develops international regulatory guidelines for food additives, provides the following definition of a food additive: Any substance not normally consumed as a food by itself, and not normal- ly used as a typical ingredient of the food, whether or not it has nutritive value, the intentional addition of which to food for a technological (includ- ing organoleptic) purpose in the manufacture, processing, preparation, treatment, packing, packaging, transport or holding of such food results, or may reasonably be expected to result, directly or indirectly, in it or its by-products becoming a component of or otherwise affecting the charac- teristics of such food.

  • Clean Label Alternatives in Meat Products

Stratakos 2 and Tatiana Pintado 1,* 1 Institute of Food Science, Technology and Nutrition (CSIC), José Antonio Novais 10, 28040 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] 2 Centre for Research in Biosciences, Coldharbour Lane, Faculty of Health and Applied Sciences, University of the West of England, Bristol BS16 1QY, UK; [email protected] (S.I.E.); [email protected] (A.C.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Food authorities have not yet provided a definition for the term “clean label”. However, food producers and consumers frequently use this terminology for food products with few and recognisable ingredients. The meat industry faces important challenges in the development of clean-label meat products, as these contain an important number of functional additives. Nitrites are an essential additive that acts as an antimicrobial and antioxidant in several meat products, making it difficult to find a clean-label alternative with all functionalities. Another important additive not complying with the clean-label requirements are phosphates. Phosphates are essential for the correct development of texture and sensory properties in several meat products. In this review, we address the potential clean-label alternatives to the most common additives in meat products, including antimicrobials, antioxidants, texturisers and colours. Some novel technologies applied for the development of clean label meat products are also covered. Keywords: clean label; meat products; nitrites alternatives; phosphates alternatives Citation: Delgado-Pando, G.; Ekonomou, S.I.; Stratakos, A.C.; Pintado, T.

  • Aspartame | European Food Safety Authority
    5/17/2017 Aspartame | European Food Safety Authority Home Topics A­Z Aspartame Aspartame Aspartame is a low­calorie, intense artificial sweetener. It is a white, odourless powder, approximately 200 times sweeter than sugar. In Europe, it is authorised to be used as a food additive in foodstuffs such as drinks, desserts, sweets, dairy, chewing gums, energy­reducing and weight control products and as a table­top sweetener. The sweetener aspartame and its breakdown products have been a matter of extensive investigation for more than 30 years including experimental animal studies, clinical research, intake and epidemiological studies and post­marketing surveillance. It has been found to be safe and authorised for human consumption for many years and in many countries following thorough safety assessments. In the European Union (EU) the label on foodstuffs containing aspartame must state its presence, indicating either its name or its E number (E 951). Activities Role EU framework FAQ Completed work Since 2002, EFSA has kept the safety of aspartame under regular review and its Scientific Panels have issued several opinions on studies related to this sweetener. Currently, this work is carried out by the Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources Added to Food (ANS). Latest activities In December 2013 EFSA published its first full risk assessment of aspartame. The opinion concludes that aspartame and its breakdown products are safe for general population (including infants, children and pregnant women). The current Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of 40mg/kg bw/day is considered protective for the general population and consumer exposure to aspartame is well below this ADI.

  • E Number from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    E number From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia E numbers are codes for substances which can be used as food additives for use within the European Union[1] and Switzerland (the "E" stands for "Europe").[2] They are commonly found on food labels throughout the European Union.[3] Safety assessment and approval are the responsibility of the European Food Safety Authority.[4] Having a single unified list for food additives was first agreed upon in 1962 with colours. In 1964, the directives for preservatives were added, 1970 for antioxidants and 1974 for the emulsifiers, stabilisers, thickeners and gelling agents.[5] Contents A solution of E101 riboflavin (also 1 Numbering scheme known as Vitamin B2) 2 Colloquial use 3 Classification by numeric range 4 Full list 4.1 E100–E199 (colours) 4.2 E200–E299 (preservatives) 4.3 E300–E399 (antioxidants, acidity regulators) 4.4 E400–E499 (thickeners, stabilizers, emulsifiers) 4.5 E500–E599 (acidity regulators, anti-caking Crystals of E621 Monosodium glutamate, a flavour enhancer agents) 4.6 E600–E699 (flavour enhancers) 4.7 E700–E799 (antibiotics) 4.8 E900–E999 (glazing agents and sweeteners) 4.9 E1000–E1599 (additional chemicals) 5 See also 6 Notes 7 External links Numbering scheme The numbering scheme follows that of the International Numbering System (INS) as determined by the Codex Alimentarius committee,[6] though only a subset of the INS additives are approved for use in the European Union as food additives. E numbers are also encountered on food labelling in other jurisdictions, including the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, Australia, New Zealand[7] and Israel.

  • FSSAI Does Not Allow Use of Formalin for Fish Preservation July 18, 2018 in Goa News NT NETWORK
    FSSAI does not allow use of formalin for fish preservation July 18, 2018 in Goa News NT NETWORK PANAJI Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, the autonomous body looking after food safety and regulations in the country, does not allow formaldehyde or formalin to be used as preservatives on fresh fish and fish products. The Food Safety and Standard (Food Products Standard and Food Additives) Regulation 2011 issued by the Union ministry of health and family welfare does not include formaldehyde under the list of food additives and preservatives for use in any food products. The notification, which is available on the FSSAI website, says the quantity of the additive added to fish shall be limited to the lowest possible level necessary to accomplish its desired effect. The limit is set between 30mg/kg to 100mg/kg. The food regulator allows the use of only potassium bisulphate, potassium sulphite, sodium metabisulphate, sodium sulphite, all are referred as sulphur dioxide, to be used as preservatives on selected fish products like frozen shrimps, lobster and fish fillets, salted fish, frozen finfish, canned finfish, canned shrimps, canned sardines, canned tuna, bonito and crab meat. The regulation also allows the manufacturers or producers of fish products to use antioxidants like ascorbic acid and also permit acidification which is another means of preserving fish and fish products by using citric acid and acetic acid in such quantity that the pH is not below 5. However, there is no mention of formaldehydes or its other most commonly known names such as methanal, methylene oxide, oxymethylene, methyl aldehyde, oxomethane, formic aldehyde, formol, fannoform, lysoform, morbicid acid, superlysoform and trioxane in the Food Safety and Standard (Food Products Standard and Food Additives) Regulation 2011.
