Dept of chemistry,Maulana Azad college Arts sci & com.Aurangabad. ABSTRACT Food chemistry is the study of chemical processes and interactions of all biological and non- biological components. Food additives are chemicals added to foods to keep them fresh or to enhance their color, flavor or texture. They may include food colorings, flavor enhancers or a range of preservatives .The chemical added to a particular food for a particular reason during processing or storage which could affect the characteristics of the food, or become part of the food Preservatives are additives that inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeasts, and molds in foods. Additives and preservatives are used to maintain product consistency and quality, improve or maintain nutritional value, maintain palatability and wholesomeness, provide leavening(yeast), control pH, enhance flavour, or provide colour Some additives have been used for centuries; for example, preserving food by pickling (with vinegar), salting, as with bacon, preserving sweets or using sulfur dioxide as in some wines. Some preservatives are known to be harmful to the human body. Some are classified as carcinogens or cancer causing agents. Keywords : Food , Food additives, colour, flavour , texture, preservatives.

A decline in immune response has also been observed in people who are in contact with food additives, such as preservatives and flavours found in different foods. Objectives: The objective of the present study was to investigate the in vitro effect of food additives, such as vanillin, Monosodium L- glutamate, Sodium Benzoate, and potassium nitrate, on the production of oxygen free radicals (OFRs) by isolated human nutrophils. Methods: The study was based on the isolation of neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leukocytes; PMNs) from normal blood to determine the effects of preservatives and flavouring additives on the production of Oxygen Free Radicals by stimulated PMNs.

  • HOW TO: Salt and Preservatives in Organic Food
    What should I know about using salt and preservatives in organic food? Salt plays an important role in processed food products both for its flavoring properties and as a preservative. For those reasons both salt and sea salt are allowed in organic products as long as the salt or sea salt does not have any prohibited additives. Here we discuss the use of salt, prohibited additives, and answer common questions. Are additives allowed in the salt I use in my organic products? Though salt and sea salt are allowed in all categories of organic products, anti-caking/free-flow agents and whiteners are generally not allowed in these products. Common anti-caking/free- flow agents that are not allowed include: • Calcium silicate • Ferric ammonium citrate • Sodium ferrocyanide • Magnesium silicate • Magnesium carbonate • Propylene glycol • Aluminum calcium silicate • Sodium aluminosilicate Makers of organic products must be able to show that the salt does not contain any of the above flow agents, anti-caking agents, or any whiteners. The producer may need to contact the manufacturer of the salt to get a statement of what is in the salt, or may be required to locate a salt that is free of whiteners and anti-caking and flow agents. There is one exception to this rule, salt formulated with magnesium carbonate is allowed in products labeled as “made with organic ingredients.” However, using salt formulated with magnesium carbonate is prohibited in products labeled “organic” (products containing at least 95% organic ingredients) or “100% organic”. It is possible that salt could be formulated with an anti-caking or flow agent not on the list above.

  • Food Additives
    Food additives Department of Chemistry The Open University of Sri Lanka 1 Published by The Open University of Sri Lanka 2014 Food additives Introduction In previous lessons, we considered the chemistry of synthetic polymers, natural polymers and biomolecules such as carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins, fatty acids and lipids. In this lesson, we intend to study pros and cons of food additives. People around the world use natural and artificial food additives particularly to improve the taste and appearance of food without thinking of their effects on their health. Do you have the practice of checking the list of food additives given in the label when you buy food items? Centuries ago and even today people smoke fish/meat and add certain chemicals to them (e.g. salt) to improve their shelf life. Particularly in eastern countries, people add spices and indigenous herbs to food to improve its taste and colour. Some food varieties are seasonal (and abundant during the season) and are not available throughout the year. But preserved food is made available around the year, enabling us to enjoy food in different forms, even in places where it is not available or produced. Consumption of food additives may have certain health risks. Carcinogenesis (i.e. causation of cancers), hyperactivity in children, precipitation of allergies, and migraine are some known health risks associated with food additives. It is high time you knew more about what you eat. Let us examine the definition of a food additive. Food additives can be defined as chemical substances deliberately added to food, directly or indirectly, in known or regulated quantities, for purposes of assisting in the processing of food, preservation of food, or in improving the flavour, texture, or appearance of food.

  • The 14 Allergens.Pdf
    The 14 Allergens There are 14 major allergens which need to be declared when used as ingredients. The following list tells you what these allergens are and provide some examples of foods where they may be found in: Egg This is often found in cakes, some meat products, mayonnaise, mousses, pasta, quiche, sauces and foods brushed or glazed with egg. Milk This is found in butter, cheese, cream, milk powders and yoghurt. It is often used in foods glazed with milk, powdered soups and sauces. Soya This can be found in beancurd, edamame beans, miso paste, textured soya protein, soya flour or tofu. It is often used in some desserts, ice cream, meat products, sauces and vegetarian products. Nuts This includes almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, cashews, pecan nuts, Brazil nuts, pistachio nuts, macadamia or Queensland nuts. These can be found in breads, biscuits, crackers, desserts, ice cream, marzipan (almond paste), nut oils and sauces. Ground, crushed or flaked almonds are often used in Asian dishes such as curries or stir fries. Peanuts These can be found in biscuits, cakes, curries, desserts and sauces such as for satay. They are also found in groundnut oil and peanut flour. Ingredients containing gluten This includes wheat (such as spelt and Khorasan wheat/Kamut), rye, barley and oats. It is often found in foods containing flour, such as some baking powders, batter, breadcrumbs, bread, cakes, couscous, meat products, pasta, pastry, sauces, soups and foods dusted with flour. The cereal will need to be declared. However it is up to you if you want to declare the presence of gluten with this.

Use of more than one class II preservative is prohibited. No person shall use in or upon a food more than one class II preservative Chemical Preservatives ✓ The purpose of using a chemical agent as a preservative is to retard food spoilage caused by microorganisms. ✓ As per one estimate of WHO, it was declared that 20% of the world’s food is lost by different type of spoilages. ✓ Partial prevention of this spoilage can be achieved through the use of refrigeration, drying, freezing and fermentation. ✓ The use of chemical additives or preservatives will prolong the shelf life of the food even further.
