| 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-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. anti-HIV agent An antiviral agent that destroys or inhibits the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus. nutrient A nutrient is a food component that an organism uses to survive and grow. nutrient A nutrient is a food component that an organism uses to survive and grow. |
| Applications: | antineoplastic agent A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms. 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. 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). 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. antacid Any substance which is used to neutralise stomach acidity. anti-anaemic agent A compound which increases either the number of red cells or the amount of haemoglobin in the blood. hypoglycemic agent A drug which lowers the blood glucose level. hepatoprotective agent Any compound that is able to prevent damage to the liver. 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. 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. |
