How are food additives mixed

Compound food additives are composed of several or even more than a dozen kinds of food additives according to a certain proportion, which can be not only the same category and function, but also different categories and functions.

According to the regulations of National food standard and National food standard, the amount of compound food additives should be reduced as much as possible in order to achieve the desired effect (Singapore food flavour wholesale) . All kinds of food additives used in the production of compound food additives should comply with the provisions announced by National food standard and the Ministry of Health and have a common scope of use. Compound food additives should not have chemical reactions in the production process and should not produce new compounds.

In order to achieve synergism, when using food additives with the same function, the addition amount of each food additive should follow the following rules: for example, An and B are two food additives with the same function and a common scope, and the actual use of An additive in C is a (Singapore food flavour supplier) . (Singapore food flavour wholesale) The standard stipulates that the maximum use of An in C is a', and the actual use of B in C is b. According to the standard (Singapore food Ingredient supplier) , the maximum usage of B in C is b' (Singapore food Ingredient supplier) , then the addition amount of An and B is expressed by the formula: a/a ′+b/b ′≤1.

For example, National food standard stipulates that the maximum use of preservatives sodium benzoate and dimethyl dicarbonate in carbonated drinks is 0.2g/kg and 0.25g / kg (Singapore food flavour supplier) , respectively. If these two preservatives are used in carbonated beverages at the same time, and the actual usage is an and b, respectively, the maximum usage of sodium benzoate and dimethyl dicarbonate in carbonated beverages should be as follows: a /0.2+b /0.25≤1.
