Roles Classification
Chemical Roles:
food anticaking agent  An anticaking agent that is used to reduced the tendency of particles of food to adhere to one another.
food stabiliser  A food additive that is used to preserve the structure of food.
food humectant  A humectant that is used as a food additive to prevent foodstuffs from drying out.
food acidity regulator  A food additive that is used to change or otherwise control the acidity or alkalinity of foods. They may be acids, bases, neutralising agents or buffering agents.
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.
