Food additives are functional substances that are normally neither consumed as food itself nor are used as ingredients, but are intentionally added in food to assist to improve their certain characteristics such as aroma, colour, consistency, taste, texture and/or shelf life. Food additives are edible substances added to food products to enhance their taste, color, appearance and texture. Besides improving quality, these additives are added to prevent microbial growth and increase longevity of processed food products.
