FOOD ADDITIVES• Are substances added to food to
preserve flavor or enhance its taste and appearance. Some additives have been used for centuries; for example, preserving food by pickling (with vinegar), salting, as with bacon, preserving sweets or using sulfur dioxide as in some wines.

NUMBERING
• To regulate these additives, and inform consumers, each additive is assigned a unique number, termed as "E numbers", which is used in Europe for all approved additives. This numbering scheme has now been adopted and extended by the Codex Alimentarius Commission to internationally identify all additives, regardless of whether they are approved for use.

CATEGORIES• Food additives can be divided into
several groups, although there is some overlap between them.
Acids, Acidity regulators, Anticaking agents, Antifoaming agents Flavor enhancers Antioxidants, Bulking agents Food coloring, Emulsifiers Flavors Glazing agents, Humectants Preservatives, Stabilizers Sweeteners Thickeners

SAFETY
• With the increasing use of processed foods since the 19th century, there has been a great increase in the use of food additives of varying levels of safety. This has led to legislation in many countries regulating their use.

FLAVOUR• Flavor or flavour is the sensory impression
of a food or other substance, and is determined mainly by the chemical senses of taste and smell. The "trigeminal senses", which detect chemical irritants in the mouth and throat as well as temperature and texture, are also very important to the overall Gestalt of flavor perception. The flavor of the food, as such, can be altered with natural or artificial flavorants, which affect these senses.

• Flavorant is defined as a substance that gives another substance flavor
![Page 8: 2013 14. isabel pujante - food additives](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110308/557d1563d8b42a4a498b486f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Of the three chemical senses, smell is the main determinant of a food item's flavor. While the taste of food is limited to sweet, sour, bitter, salty, umami (savory), pungent or piquant, and metallic – the seven basic tastes – the smells of a food are potentially limitless. A food's flavor, therefore, can be easily altered by changing its smell while keeping its taste similar

• Nowhere is this better exemplified than in artificially flavored jellies, soft drinks and candies.

• Which while made of bases with a similar taste, have dramatically different flavors due to the use of different scents or fragrances. The flavorings of commercially produced food products are typically created by by flavorists.b

FLAVORINGS OR FLAVORANTS
• There are three principal types of flavorings used in foods
• Natural flavoring substances.Flavoring substances obtained from plant or animal raw materials, by physical, microbiological or enzymatic processes.

• Nature-identical flavoring substances . Flavoring substances that are obtained by synthesis or isolated through chemical processes, which are chemically and organoleptically identical to flavoring substances naturally present in products intended for human consumption. They cannot contain any artificial flavoring substances.

• Artificial flavoring substances• Flavoring substances not identified
in a natural product intended for human consumption, these are typically produced by fractional distillation and additional chemical manipulation of naturally sourced chemicals
• Although they are chemically different, in sensory characteristics are the same as natural ones.

• Many flavorants consist of esters, which are often described as being "sweet" or "fruity“

Determination
• Few standards are available or being prepared for sensory analysis of flavors. In chemical analysis of flavors, solid phase extraction (SPE), solid phase microextraction (SPME), and headspace gas chromatography are applied to extract and separate the flavor compounds in the sample. The determination is typically done by various mass spectrometric techniques.

The methods of extraction can involve solvent extraction, distillation

To conclude :
In my opinion is very important to know what you eat.
Not all additives numbers are unhealthier many of them help in different ways.
The most important is food safety,
