The water quality in this region has the least heavy metals thereby providing the highest gel strength for the agar. The unique characteristics of agar include high gel strength, high solidification and minimal syneresis. Agar is used in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Applications include ice cream, pulp drinks, soft candy, milk chocolate, dessert, canned goods, jam and jelly. Agar can improve texture and mouth feels in many food products and is Kosher certified. 收起 | |

Sodium benzoate is a common ingredient in highly processed foods such as carbonated sodas, vinegar, fruit juices; in mixed ingredients like salad dressings; and to stop the fermentation process in wines. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Health Protection Branch in Canada (HPB) report that in low doses it is safe for consumption, currently the FDA permits a maximum of 0.1% benzoate in foods. On its own, it is not considered toxic, and studies show no adverse health effects in humans under normal conditions. 收起 | |

TBHQ has an exceptional stabilising effect in unsaturated fats, particularly in polyunsaturated vegetable oils and in edible animal fats. TBHQ can also be widely used in essential oils, nuts, inedible animal fats, butterfat, packaged fried foods and food packaging materials such as glassine and paraffin wax. 收起 | |

The name is derived from the strain of bacteria used during the fermentation process that is used to make it, Xanthomonas campestris. This is the same bacteria responsible for causing black rot to form on broccoli, cauliflower and other leafy vegetables. The bacteria form a slimy substance which acts as a natural stabilizer or thickener. It was developed when the United States Department of Agriculture ran a number of experiments involving bacteria and various sugars to develop a new thickening agent similar to corn starch or guar gum. Xanthan gum is considered a polysaccharide in scientific circles, because it is a long chain of three different forms of sugar. What's important to know is that all three of these natural sugars are present in corn sugar, a derivative of the more familiar corn syrup. The Xanthomonas campestris bacteria eat a supply of this corn sugar under controlled conditions, and the digestion process converts the individual sugars into a single substance with properties similar to cornstarch. Xanthan gum is used in dairy products and salad dressings as a thickening agent and stabilizer; it prevents ice crystals from forming in ice creams, and also provides a "fat feel" in low or no-fat dairy products. 收起 |
