Biography of additives

For convenience, all nutritional supplements have their own unique number, which begins with the letter “E” abbreviatedly means “Europe” - the European digital system operating in the year. According to this classification, food additives are divided into several main groups: e - dyes - designed to give, enhance or restore the color of food products; E - preservatives - are designed to increase the shelf life of food products by protecting against the growth of microorganisms.

E - antioxidants - are designed to slow down the oxidation process and increase the expiration dates. E - stabilizers - are designed to ensure aggregative stability and maintain uniform dispersion of non -laughing ingredients. E - emulsifiers - are designed to create and preserve a homogeneous mixture of non -laughing phases in a food product. E - amplifiers of flavor - are designed to enhance the taste or modify the natural taste and aroma of products.

E - spare numbers. E and further: foamers, glazicurs, enzymes, anti -melting agents anti -components, substances for flour processing, moisture -holding agents, geling agents, thickeners, acids, fillers, sweeteners, propellates, baking powers, acidity regulators, packaging gases, seals, stabilizers, stabilizers stabilizers. Color. Simultaneously with food additives, they separately distinguish: flavorings - not consumed by a person directly into food tasteful substances or taste -aromatic drugs.

Technological aids, such as: catalysts - are designed to accelerate chemical reactions; Floculants clarifiers, adsorbents - are designed to increase the efficiency of the adsorption of impurities. Regularly, new food additives are included in the list of permitted food additives. As new scientific data on the effect of any food supplement on human health and the necessary studies, they move from permitted and vice versa.

In addition, such lists in different countries may vary. Natural nutritional supplements to this group of food additives include substances that are found in nature. The origin of these additives can be vegetable, animal, mineral. Even eating only foods “from your garden” and “from your cow”, such food additives fall into our body and not only do not harm, but often can positively act on our health.

Examples of natural food additives: E - turmeric, staining substances obtained from the plants of turmeric; E - agar, a galling substance from seaweed components of some sweets and marmalade; E - hummiarabic obtained from some trees; The EU - the oilcamers paprika, as the name can be seen, are extracted from paprika, etc. Additives obtained by artificially are found in nature, however, for industrial purposes, they are obtained synthetically.

Food supplements from this group are often called "identical natural." For example: E - ascorbic acid. For industrial purposes, ascorbic acid vitamin C is obtained from glucose. EA - karotins, well -known beneficial substances from bright carrots. In industry, carotenes are extracted either by extraction from natural products, or chemically. E - apple acid, which is normally synthesized in the human body.

Get apple acid with a chemically. E - vegetable coal, fossil substance. Often it is obtained by carbonization of plant materials. E - the most ordinary vinegar. Synthetic nutritional supplements of this group are not found in nature, are not produced in the human body, so they require more attention. When determining the permissibility of using the food supplement in food products, they are focused on the list of permitted food additives contained in the technical regulations.

Forbidden additives are substances, the negative effect of which has been proven on the human body. Unresolved additives include substances for which scientific data on the impact on human health are not yet enough or research has not yet been completed. Forbidden food additives: E - synthetic dye citrus red 2. It is a carcinogens, provokes the development of cancer, and negatively affects the respiratory and genitourinary systems.

E is an artificial dye red amaranth. It is recognized as a carcinogen according to the results of test tests. Increases the risk of malignant tumors, contributes to the appearance of intrauterine malformations and delays its development. E - red dye 2G. Acts on the nervous system: causes a violation of coordination, memory, state of general malaise. E is a preservative of para-hydroxybenzoic acid Propilic Ether Paraben.

The strongest allergen. It contributes to the development of breast cancer in women and infertility in men. E is a preservative of para-hydroxybenzoic acid Prophyal ester sodium salt.It is contraindicated for people suffering from asthma, allergies. It causes headache, impaired digestive functions, promotes the growth of malignant neoplasms E - preservative formaldehyde.

It provokes the appearance of cancer, in particular, nasopharynx. EA - improveder of a bakery broom of potassium. It has a toxic effect on the urinary system. EB is an improveder of a bakery calcium broom. Toxic for mucous membranes and skin of a person, causes a rapid growth of malignant tumors. Some “underwater stones” of the use of food additives, even the most natural food supplement may be dangerous with a large dosage - for example, hypervitaminosis with severe reactions with excessive use of all the same vitamins C or A.

And vice versa, if a synthetic food supplement is introduced into the product in compliance with the rules and permissible norms, then its action is unlikely to prove itself as negative. With excessive consumption of food products containing flavor enhancers, irregular taste habits can form, which can further lead to a change in the diet and the occurrence of related diseases.

The total number of additives that have fallen into our body also is important. If our breakfast, lunch and dinner are entirely made of products with numerous food additives, then even if the permissible amount of each of them in the product, their total number can significantly go beyond safe faces in the product. That is, you need to look not only at the presence of food additives, but also at the number of products consumed with their content.

The good faith of the manufacturer any manufacturer of food should be placed on the labels to the product full information about its composition. If there is a flavor in the food product, the composition of the composition should contain the word "flavoring". Individual sensitivity even food supplements from a group of natural can be a danger to a particular person.

A striking example is people with a tendency to allergic reactions. In particular, the recommendations of nutritionists and pediatricians are associated with this associated children from eating products with synthetic food additives and a large number of natural and artificial additives. Food supplements are not a disaster and not the culprit of all the troubles of human health.

We will be attentive and reasonable - and then our health will be in our hands!
