Food additives greatly promote the development of the food industry, and is known as the soul of the modern food industry, which is mainly because it brings many benefits to the food industry, The following points are summarized by ENVO CHEMICAL CO., LTD.：
1.Good for preservation, prevent spoilage
For example, preservatives can prevent food spoilage caused by microorganisms, prolong the shelf life of food, and also prevent food poisoning caused by microbial contamination. Antioxidants, for example, prevent or delay oxidative spoilage, providing stability and storage resistance, and preventing the formation of automatic, potentially harmful oils and fats oxides. In addition, can also be used to prevent food, especially fruit, vegetable enzymatic Browning and non-enzymatic Browning. All these are of certain significance for food preservation.Improve the sensory properties of food.
2.Maintain or improve the nutritional value of food
The color, aroma, taste, shape and texture of food are important indicators to measure food quality. Proper use of food additives such as colorants, color protectors, bleach agents, edible spices, emulsifiers, thickeners, etc., can obviously improve the sensory quality of food, to meet the different needs of people.
3.Increase the variety and convenience of food
The market has as many as 20000 kinds of more than food for consumers to choose, although the production of these food mostly through certain packaging and different processing methods, but in the production project, some color, fragrance, taste with complete products, mostly different degrees of added coloring, adding fragrance, seasoning and other food additives.

5.Favorable for food processing, adapt to production mechanization and automation
The use of defoaming agents, filter AIDS, stabilizing and solidifying agents in food processing is beneficial to food processing operations. For example, when δ gluconolactone is used as a bean curd coagulant, mechanization and automation of bean curd production can be facilitated.
6.Meet other special needs
Food should meet as many different needs as possible. For example, people with diabetes who cannot eat sugar can have a sugar-free food supply with non-nutritive sweeteners or low thermal energy sweeteners such as sucralose or methyl aspartic phenylalanine.
