  1. Food additives(often referred to as „E“ ) Věra Hezinová Veronika Petrovská

  2. E XXX • substances which improve the properties of foodstuffs • code of toxicologically verified compounds (notice 53/2002 Sb.) • used abbreviations – „E XXX“ • common substances - Magdalena Dobromila Rettigová • several groups distinguished

  3. Dyes • indicated „E 1XX“ • improve the colour • natural or synthetic • examples: E 100 = curcumin E 153 = natural carbon E 122 = azorubin E 160 = carotenes E 140 = chlorophyl E 170 = calcium carbonate E 173 = aluminium

  4. Conservants • indicated „E 2XX“ • protect against breeding of bacteria • prolongation of durability Examples: E 210 = benzoic acid E 220 = sulphur dioxide E 226 = calcium sulfite E 252 = KNO3 (smoked meats) E 260 = acetic acid E 285 = borax (caviar) E 290 = carbon dioxide

  5. E 3XX protection of lipids against the process of turning rancid Examples: E 300 = ascorbic acid E 307 = a-tocoferol E 330 = citric acid E 339 = sodium phosphate E 4XX mixe two badly mixing liquidus (margarines) Concentrators (E 406 = agar) – can´t be used for sweets (swelling at the contact of salivas) Concentrators for sweets (E 440 = pectin, gelatine) Antioxidants & emulgators

  6. Taste substances & sweetening agents • E 6XX: • improve the taste of foodstuffs • examples: E 621 glutamate (instant soup, sauce) • E 9XX: • sweeter than sugar, add less energy • light foodstuffs and dia-products • examples: E 950 = acetsulfan, E 954 = sacharin

  7. The others… • E 5XX = regulators of acidity (H2SO4, NaOH, CaO) • polish substances (bee´s and synthetic waxes) • for improvement of flour (E 927 = urea) • gasses for packing (E 938 = Ar, E 941 = N) • starches (E 14XX)

  8. Safety • toxicological tests last for several years • implemented by different laboratories in more countries • 6 experimental animals • toxicity of every substance depends on state of health, on kind of foodstuffs, on the next modifications in the kitchen • misleading information

  9. 3bit – KRAFT FOODS • E 322 = lecithin • E 476 = polyglycerolpolyricinoleát • E 500 = sodium carbonate • E 503 = ammonium carbonate • E 330 = citric acid

  10. Aquila - MATTONI • E 202 = potassium sorbate • E 211 = natrium benzoate • E 300 = vitamin C • E 330 = citric acid • E 950 = acetsulfam K • E 951 = aspartam – it´s necessary to mark „it contains the source of phenylalanine“

  11. E 330 = citric acid E 43X = magnesium stearate E 14XX = wheat starch E 104 = chinoline yellow E 110 = yellow SY E 122 = azorubin E 124 = Ponceau 4R E 132 = indigotin E 133 = brilliant blue Fruit lentils - SFINX
