What are the purposes of food additives?
* 1. Food colouring can be found in cakes. Offsetting colour loss due to light, air, extremes of temperature, moisture, and storage conditions. * Masking natural variations in colour. * Enhancing naturally occurring colours. * Providing identity to foods. * Protecting flavours and vitamins from damage by light. * ** Decorating purposes such as cake icing 2.Seasoning is the process of adding or improving flavor of food. Seasonings include herbs, spices, and all other condiments (which may themselves be referred to as "seasonings"). Salt may be used to draw out water, or to magnify a natural flavor of a food making it richer or more delicate, depending on the dish. For instance, kosher salt (a coarser-grained salt) is rubbed into chicken, lamb, and beef to tenderize the meat and improve flavor. Other seasonings like black pepper and basil transfer some of their flavor to the food. A well-designed dish may combine seasonings that complement each other. In addition to the choice of herbs and seasoning, the timing of when flavors are added will affect the food that is being cooked. 3.When used as an ingredient in food, it is intended to curb effusion or effervescence in preparation or serving. Antifoaming agents are included in a variety of foods such as Diet Pepsi, Diet Coke, Sprite, and chicken nuggets in the form of polydimethylsiloxane (a type of silicone). Antifoaming agents are also used medicinally to relieve bloating, because they cause small bubbles to coalesce into large bubbles, which are passed more easily. A familiar example is the drug Simethicone, which is the active ingredient in drugs such as Gas-X.
