How NOVA works
Additives
E120 - CochinealColour
Cochineal extract or carmine (E120) is a natural red colorant derived from the dried bodies of the female cochineal insect.
It is widely used to impart a pink, red, or purple hue to various food and beverage products, including yogurts, ice creams, confectionery, and fruit juices.
Although it is a natural additive, E120 is known to cause severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, in some individuals. It is also not suitable for vegetarians or vegans due to its insect origin.
E250 - Sodium nitritePreservative
Sodium nitrite (E250) is a salt used for curing and preserving meat products.
It plays a critical role in preventing the growth of Clostridium botulinum, the bacterium responsible for botulism, in cured meats like bacon, ham, and sausages. It also provides the characteristic pink color and flavor.
However, nitrites can react with amines in the stomach to form nitrosamines, which are potent carcinogens. High intake of processed meats containing nitrites is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Regulatory bodies have set strict limits on its use in food.
E252 - Potassium nitratePreservative
POTASSIUM NITRATE is a chemical compound with the chemical formula KNO3. The widespread adoption of nitrate use is more recent and is linked to the development of large-scale meat processing. potassium nitrate is still used in some food applications, such as salami, dry-cured ham, charcuterie.
E316 - sodium erythorbateAntioxidant
SODIUM ERYTHORBATE is the sodium salt of erythorbic acid. Sodium erythorbate is produced from sugars derived from different sources, such as beets, sugar cane, and corn. It is used predominantly in meats, poultry, and soft drinks.
E331 - Sodium citratesEmulsifierSequestrantStabiliser
DISODIUM CITRATE, more properly, disodium hydrogen citrate, is an acid salt of citric acid with the chemical formula Na2C6H6O7. It is used as an antioxidant in food and to improve the effects of other antioxidants. It is also used as an acidity regulator and sequestrant. Typical products include gelatin, jam, sweets, ice cream, carbonated beverages, milk powder, wine, and processed cheeses.
