Food additives are metabolized through various biochemical pathways in the body, depending on their chemical structure and nature. Some additives are broken down in the gastrointestinal tract by enzymes and absorbed into the bloodstream, while others may pass through the body unchanged. The liver often plays a critical role in metabolizing these substances, converting them into more water-soluble forms for excretion via urine or bile. Overall, the metabolism of food additives can vary widely, influencing their safety and physiological effects.
