| Chemical Roles: | food colouring A food additive that imparts colour to food. In European countries, E-numbers for permitted food colours are from E 100 to E 199, divided into yellows (E 100-109), oranges (E 110-119), reds (E 120-129), blues and violets (E 130-139), greens (E 140-149), browns and blacks (E 150-159), and others (E 160-199). food firming agent A food additive that is used to make or keep fruit or vegetable tissues firm and crisp. or which interacts with gelling agents such as pectin to produce or strengthen a gel. |
| Biological Roles: | anti-HIV agent An antiviral agent that destroys or inhibits the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus. anti-obesity agent Any substance which is used to reduce or control weight. food colouring A food additive that imparts colour to food. In European countries, E-numbers for permitted food colours are from E 100 to E 199, divided into yellows (E 100-109), oranges (E 110-119), reds (E 120-129), blues and violets (E 130-139), greens (E 140-149), browns and blacks (E 150-159), and others (E 160-199). antacid Any substance which is used to neutralise stomach acidity. food firming agent A food additive that is used to make or keep fruit or vegetable tissues firm and crisp. or which interacts with gelling agents such as pectin to produce or strengthen a gel. |
| Applications: | anti-arrhythmia drug A drug used for the treatment or prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. Anti-arrhythmia drugs may affect the polarisation-repolarisation phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibres. hypoglycemic agent A drug which lowers the blood glucose level. antineoplastic agent A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms. food colouring A food additive that imparts colour to food. In European countries, E-numbers for permitted food colours are from E 100 to E 199, divided into yellows (E 100-109), oranges (E 110-119), reds (E 120-129), blues and violets (E 130-139), greens (E 140-149), browns and blacks (E 150-159), and others (E 160-199). geroprotector Any compound that supports healthy aging, slows the biological aging process, or extends lifespan. fertilizer A fertilizer is any substance that is added to soil or water to assist the growth of plants. antacid Any substance which is used to neutralise stomach acidity. food firming agent A food additive that is used to make or keep fruit or vegetable tissues firm and crisp. or which interacts with gelling agents such as pectin to produce or strengthen a gel. hepatoprotective agent Any compound that is able to prevent damage to the liver. anti-anaemic agent A compound which increases either the number of red cells or the amount of haemoglobin in the blood. bone density conservation agent An agent that inhibits bone resorption and/or favor bone mineralization and bone regeneration. Used to heal bone fractures and to treat bone diseases such as osteopenia and osteoporosis. |
