Crosslinkers

These are produced through the process of using enzymes to customize the structure of foods, thereby improving their firmness and/or texture. It’s used most commonly in dairy, meat, fish and cereal. The use of crosslinkers plays into trends toward all-natural additive-free products and low-fat foods.


D-Limonene

This substance is sourced from the peels of oranges, limes, grapefruit and other citrus fruits. With a lemony essence, it’s often used to flavor food, beverages and to enhance the scent of some personal care products.


EDTA Products

Also known as calcium disodium EDTA, this common food additive is used to preserve flavor, color and texture and prevent spoilage. EDTAs are often found in salad dressings, pickled vegetables, canned beans and meats, and soft drinks. It’s also used to stabilize certain pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, detergents and industrial products.


Emulsions

An emulsion is the process of combining two or more liquids would not naturally blend together, such as oil and water. An emulsifying agent creates a chemical bond between two or more liquids, serving to keep them together.

Gluconic Acid

Gluconic Acid acts as a chelating agent.


Glycerin

Glycerin is a sugar alcohol that is slightly less sweet than sugar. Found naturally in fermented items including beer, wine, vinegars and honey, it’s also commercially produced and used in food products to retain moisture and keep foods from drying out. It’s also a thickener and adds bulk, sweetness and texture to items such as items such as energy bars, icings on baked goods, candy and marshmallows. It is also added to wound treatments for its antimicrobial and antiviral properties.


Gum Arabic

Gum Arabic is sourced from various types of acacia trees. One of the most widely used ingredients in consumer goods, it’s found in soft drinks, candies and pharmaceuticals. As a source of dietary fiber, it can be added to foods to reduce net carb intake and enhance nutritional value.


Lactic Acid

Lactic acid is an organic acid occurring naturally in the human body and in fermented foods. It is used in a wide range of food, beverages, personal care, healthcare, cleaners, feed & pet food and chemical products as a mild acidity regulator with flavour enhancing and antibacterial properties.


Mold Releases

A mold release agent keeps products from bonding to other surfaces, such as the mold or die-cast surface of manufacturing equipment. They consist of any chemical that creates a barrier between the product and the mold surface to facilitate clean-up and efficient production.


Phosphates

Phosphates can enhance and retain moisture in products.


Phosphoric Acid

Phosphoric acid, which occurs naturally in many fruits and fruit juices, is an additive that serves to acidify food and drink products, and provides an acidic fruit-like flavoring. It’s also used in many manufacturing processes, including fertilizers and cleaning products.


Potassium Carbonate

Potassium carbonate is a salt compound is used in food production to enhance flavors and stabilize colors. Its lends its alkalinity to a variety of products, including alkalized (or Dutch processed) cocoa, to reduce acidity in wine, and to reduce bitterness and regulate fat content in foods.


Potassium Permanganate

Potassium permanganates are widely used to treat and purify municipal drinking water and improve the quality of the water for public consumption, due to their ability to oxidize contaminants. They are also used in a variety of industrial applications, including treating metal surfaces and in producing other products.


Potassium Phosphates

Potassium phosphates, including monopotassium, dipotassium and tripotassium phosphates, are inorganic salts that are multifunctional food additives. Commonly used as a preservative, they also stabilize and thicken foods and regulate the moisture and acidity of foods.


Propylene Glycol

Propylene glycol is a synthetic substance that absorbs water and maintains moisture. It is used in foods, drinks, medicine, cosmetic and personal care products. It serves as an anti-caking agent, antioxidant protecting products against oxygenation and deterioration, an emulsifier, to preserve moisture and keep products from drying out, and as a stabilizer and thickener, enhancing the texture of foods.


Salt Pellets

Salt pellets are typically made from sodium chloride (table salt) and primarily used in water softening applications, to remove hard water minerals from water.


Silicone Dioxide

Silicates are naturally occurring substances found in plants, animals and earth that when used in food production can prevent caking and keep food from clumping. They contribute to lengthening a product’s shelf life and protect products from moisture. Non-food grades of silicates are used in the manufacturing of glass and cement.
