Food Additives

What are Food Additives? Food additives are substances that are not normally consumed as food but that is added to food for technological purposes or to improve its flavor and consistency. These substances may have nutritive value or be added for safety reasons. While some are not harmful, others have been linked to adverse health effects. Monosodium glutamate is a common food additive used to increase the flavor and texture of savory foods.

On the basis of source, Synthetic segment dominated the global Food Additive Market with a share of 53.4% in 2019 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% between 2019 and 2027.

FD&C Yellow No. 5 is used to color drinks, dessert powders, candy, and custard. According to the FDA, Yellow No. 5 may cause hives and asthma in less than one in every 10,000 people. However, because it's used in food and beverage products, it must be listed on the ingredient label. For people who have allergies to it, avoiding food containing this color can help prevent the onset of an asthma attack.

The FDA has defined a list of permitted ingredients and banned ones. These lists are based on toxicological testing on animals and are generally 100 times less than the maximum daily allowance for humans. However, the approval process can be delayed or canceled when there is doubt about the safety of a specific additive. Moreover, most food additives are tested in isolation and are not known for long-term effects when combined with other food ingredients. Artificial sweeteners are safe and may promote weight loss. They may cause mild side effects in some individuals, but are still considered safe in moderation. Diacetyl, for example, is a common flavoring ingredient in microwave popcorn. It can cause inflammation and scarring of the airways. In addition to being harmful, diacetyl is also found in dairy products, brown flavorings, and fruit flavors. There are more than 3,000 different foods and their labels may be hazardous.

Oilfield Chemicals Help Improve the Efficacy and Efficiency of Activities at an Oilfield Site

Image
  Oilfield Chemicals  Chemical compounds used in oil and gas extraction operations are known as oilfield chemicals. The oilfield chemical used as drilling fluids can include suspension, fibers, biocides, and clay control, as well as polymers, surface modifiers, suspension and rheology chemicals, fillers and particles. Oilfield chemical help improve corrosion protection, drilling optimization, prevent mud loss in different geological formations, improve oil recovery, and stabilize drilling fluid in high pressure and high temperature environment, and many others. Global Oilfield Chemicals Market was valued at US$ 68,855.3 Million in 2021 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period (2022 to 2030). Oilfield drilling is a process of boring hole into to the earth crust for natural gas and oil. As the drilling fluid generates hydrostatic pressure in the borehole, it hinders fluid and gas penetration. Oilfield chemical are used to improve the efficiency ...

Global Aniline Market Is Expanding Owing To Growing Adoption of Aniline in Formulating Rubber Processing Chemicals and Increasing Demand for Premium Furnishings and Automotive Interiors

Image
 Aniline Market  Aniline is a basic aromatic amine, it is found naturally in coal tar, tobacco smoke, and in foods. The compound is used as a coloring agent and also as an intermediate for the production of polyurethane. It is a colorless to brown liquid that has a burning taste. When heated, it produces toxic fumes. There is evidence that aniline can cause kidney damage and red blood cell breakdown. Exposure to this dye may have adverse effects on the spleen. As an aromatic amine, it is a weak base. This means that it reacts vigorously with strong oxidants. During oxidation, it forms carbon-nitrogen bonds. These compounds can produce carbonyl products, which can fragment proteins. They also contribute to protein aggregation. The chemical has been identified as a probable carcinogen. It is also suspected that aniline dyes can affect the liver. It can have a negative effect on the eyes. Growing automotive industry is estimated to augment growth of the global aniline market duri...
