Synopsis

The previous edition of Essential Guide to Food Additives has already proved to be a highly useful ready reference for a wide range of professionals in the food and drink industry. The principal change in the second edition, therefore, is the addition of additives that were not permitted for use at the time of publication of the first edition, removal of additives that are no longer permitted for use, and a thorough check and update of the legislation relating to additives. The book answers questions on why additives are used in prepared foods, and covers the technical aspects, benefits and limitations of individual additives. In addition to a numerical listing of all currently approved food additives in the EU, the book contains chapters on the approval process that additives have to go through before being permitted, the information that has to be provided on the label of a food product, and a summary of similar legislation from around the world.
