It has become a food additives (Food Additives) in snacks(Snack Food) and foods that require little preparation(Convenience Food) or drinks (Drinks) produced in large quantities (Mass Production) of the things that are indispensablein food processing. When diverge distances between population and food production processes becomes a direct food additiveis necessary. The result of this geographical distance need food storage, transportation and marketed under the circumstances hehad to corruption which justifies the presence of food additives as preservatives to resist corruption and poor quality food product.There are a large group of chemical compounds (natural andunnatural Natural Artificial) that are used in food processing for the development of organoleptic properties in food product such as color, flavor, and texture. And who decides the benefit of food additives are the requirements for production, conservation,storage and marketing of food. In some cases added to the types of food products to raise the level of nutrients or nutritionalsubstances are added to assist in processing. The consumermay return to its existence and became part of the list ofrequirements. And the increasing use of food additives in the food industry has become our daily diet containing doses of chemicals, Raising among consumers and regulators keen interest and questions about the safe use of those materials, and whetherthese materials can be used to hide the poor quality of food or to make food appear better or more valuable than it is in reality.
There are natural supplements known from experience to be safeto use and is called in English "Grass" (Generally Recognized As Safe For Addition To Food, GRAS), and number around 600material. It does not need scientific evidence to prove their safety.Examples of such materials spices (Spices), and the flavors andenhancers taste natural (Natural Seasoning And Flavoring Materials), and AHA (Fruit Acids) such as citric acid (Citric Acid),and malic acid (Malic Acid), and phosphoric acid (Phosphoric Acid), and powder bread (Baking Powder) such as sodiumbicarbonate (Sodium Picarbonate), and emulsions (Emulsifiers), fatty acids (Fatty Acids) such as Monoglaseraydz(Monoglycerides) and Aldaagleseraydz (Diglycerides). The aim of addressing this group is to emphasize the continuity to allowuse of food additives and emphasize that they are not immunefrom the ban if if he found out later that it is not safe.
And previously enjoyed by the United States in the field of food additives and progress in the food sector has provided its laws toprevent the use of food additives that cause cancer. Is called the law on this matter (Cancer Clause). He was known also as abearing Mr. / Delaney, where the law named Delaney (Delaney Clause), which is important because the law prohibits the use ofany food additive scientifically proven to cause cancer through experiments and studies on animals. Based testing to ensure the safety of food additives in food processing to study the effect ofseveral concentrations of the dose (Dose) of the additive on thetwo platoons of laboratory animals.
In addition to providing scientific evidence confirms the safety offood additives in use, there are other requirements, including:
A - If you must use, must play the role of Article career.
B - You must not use the additive cheat the consumer, or to covera defect or flaw in the component manufacturing.
C - should not cause a shortage of the additive, considering thenutritional value of food product.
D - prevents the use of the additive for the effect can be obtained by good manufacturing practice (Good Manufacturing Practices).
E - there must be a way for accurate laboratory testing andanalysis of the additive in a food product.
