Natural Food Additives, Ingredients and Flavourings
edited by David Baines

Natural Food Additives, Ingredients and Flavourings covers the legislative issues relating to natural food additives and ingredients, the range of natural food additives and ingredients, and their applications in different product sectors.

Features:

• ‘natural’ in the context of food ingredients, with focus on natural food colourings, low-calorie sweeteners and flavour enhancers
• consideration of natural antioxidants and antimicrobials as food ingredients
• examines natural ingredients in savoury food products, baked goods and alcoholic drinks, natural plant extracts in soft drinks and milk-based food ingredients

Part One focuses on natural food colourings, low-calorie sweeteners and flavour enhancers, followed by a consideration of natural antioxidants and antimicrobials as food ingredients. The book goes on to address clean label starches and proteins, the application of natural hydrocolloids as well as natural aroma chemicals and flavourings from biotechnology and green chemistry.

Part Two considers specific applications in different products. Also covered in this section are natural ingredients in savoury food products, baked goods and alcoholic drinks, and natural plant extracts in soft drinks and milk-based food ingredients.
