Best Answer

No, preservatives are used for e.g, keeping food fresh whereas additives are used to enhance the flavour, colour or texture of a food. Of course, you could argue that they are both used to enhance the flavour of a food so I suppose you could put forward an argument saying that they are the same from that perspective.
