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.
food humectant  A humectant that is used as a food additive to prevent foodstuffs from drying out.
fuel additive  Any additive that enhances the efficiency of fuel.
solvent  A liquid that can dissolve other substances (solutes) without any change in their chemical composition.
food additive carrier  A food additive that is used to dilute, disperse or dissolve a food additive or nutrient without altering its function. Carriers are used to facilitate the handling or use of the food additive or nutrient.
Biological Roles:
antifungal drug  Any antifungal agent used to prevent or treat fungal infections in humans or animals.
food emulsifier  A food additive used to form or maintain a uniform emulsion of two (or more) phases in a food.
food humectant  A humectant that is used as a food additive to prevent foodstuffs from drying out.
plant metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.
food additive carrier  A food additive that is used to dilute, disperse or dissolve a food additive or nutrient without altering its function. Carriers are used to facilitate the handling or use of the food additive or nutrient.
Applications:
antifungal drug  Any antifungal agent used to prevent or treat fungal infections in humans or animals.
food emulsifier  A food additive used to form or maintain a uniform emulsion of two (or more) phases in a food.
food humectant  A humectant that is used as a food additive to prevent foodstuffs from drying out.
fuel additive  Any additive that enhances the efficiency of fuel.
adjuvant  Any pharmacological or immunological agent that modifies the effect of other agents such as drugs or vaccines while having few if any direct effects when given by itself.
solvent  A liquid that can dissolve other substances (solutes) without any change in their chemical composition.
