| Roles Classification |
|---|
| Chemical Roles: | food emulsifier A food additive used to form or maintain a uniform emulsion of two (or more) phases in a food. sequestrant A food preservative that acts by chelating with metal cations (particularly those of copper, iron and nickel) that catalyse the oxidation of fats in food. buffer Any substance or mixture of substances that, in solution (typically aqueous), resists change in pH upon addition of small amounts of acid or base. |
| Biological Roles: | food emulsifier A food additive used to form or maintain a uniform emulsion of two (or more) phases in a food. raising agent A food additive which liberates gas so as to increase the volume of a dough or batter, resulting in a lighter and softer finished product. sequestrant A food preservative that acts by chelating with metal cations (particularly those of copper, iron and nickel) that catalyse the oxidation of fats in food. |
| Applications: | food emulsifier A food additive used to form or maintain a uniform emulsion of two (or more) phases in a food. fertilizer A fertilizer is any substance that is added to soil or water to assist the growth of plants. raising agent A food additive which liberates gas so as to increase the volume of a dough or batter, resulting in a lighter and softer finished product. sequestrant A food preservative that acts by chelating with metal cations (particularly those of copper, iron and nickel) that catalyse the oxidation of fats in food. |
