Additives
E290 - Carbon dioxidePreservativePropellent Gas
CARBON DIOXIDE chemical formula CO2) is a colorless gas with a density about 60% higher than that of dry air.
E330 - Citric acidAntioxidantSequestrant
Citric acid is a natural organic acid found in citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges, and limes.
It is widely used in the food industry as a flavor enhancer, acidulant, and preservative due to its tart and refreshing taste.
Citric acid is safe for consumption when used in moderation and is considered a generally recognized as safe (GRAS) food additive by regulatory agencies worldwide.
E407 - CarrageenanCarrierEmulsifierHumectantStabiliserThickener
Carrageenan (E407), derived from red seaweed, is widely employed in the food industry as a gelling, thickening, and stabilizing agent, notably in dairy and meat products.
It can exist in various forms, each imparting distinct textural properties to food.
However, its degraded form, often referred to as poligeenan, has raised health concerns due to its potential inflammatory effects and its classification as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
Nevertheless, food-grade carrageenan has been deemed safe by various regulatory bodies when consumed in amounts typically found in food.
E410 - Locust bean gumEmulsifierStabiliserThickener
Locust bean gum (LBG, also known as carob gum, carob bean gum, carobin, E410) is a thickening agent and a gelling agent used in food technology.
E433 - Polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleateEmulsifierStabiliser
Polysorbate 80 is a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier often used in foods and cosmetics. This synthetic compound is a viscous, water-soluble yellow liquid.
