Food Additives List - Names and Uses

Food additives may be either natural ingredients or synthetic (artificial) chemicals. They are added to nearly all foods to improve flavor, prevent caking, slow decomposition, add color, and to improve texture. (Michael Stern) — Burgers (Michael Stern)

A food additive is any substance added to food to improve its appearance, stability, flavor, texture, shelf life, or other characteristic. An additive could be either a natural substance or a synthetic chemical. Here’s a comprehensive list of food additives and their uses.
