Applications in Food Products

The Impact of Preservatives on Food Safety and Quality

Biochar is produced through a process called pyrolysis, which involves the thermal decomposition of organic material—such as agricultural residues, forestry byproducts, or food waste—in the absence of oxygen. This process not only transforms the material into a stable form of carbon but also reduces its volume, making it easier to handle and apply. The resulting product, biochar, can be incorporated into soils to enhance fertility, structure, and overall health.

INS 635 is a food additive that falls under the category of flavour enhancers. It is derived from glutamic acid, an amino acid that naturally occurs in many foods, including tomatoes, mushrooms, and cheese. Flavour enhancers like INS 635 have the unique ability to amplify the existing flavours in food, making them taste richer and more complex without necessarily adding any new flavours. This characteristic is especially valued in processed foods, where achieving a desirable taste is essential for consumer satisfaction.

Despite their utility, the use of artificial food additives is not without controversy. Critics argue that these substances contribute to a poor diet, leading to health issues such as obesity, hyperactivity, and allergic reactions. Furthermore, the reliance on chemical additives can overshadow the benefits of natural ingredients, resulting in foods that are less nutritious. As consumers become increasingly health-conscious, the demand for transparent labeling and the use of natural alternatives is on the rise.
