Zat Aditif yang terdapat pada makanan versi Bahasa Inggris (Additives are substances found in food)


Additives are substances found in food
All the ingredients are in tambhkan food into the food during processing , storage or packaging of food called food additives . Based on the function of food additives can be classified into dyes , sweeteners , flavorings , anti- oxidant , bleach , perenyah and fillers , nutrition enhancer , stabilizer , dryer , preventing foam , preventing sticky , and polishing / moisturizer .
1 . Lip materials
The use of dye at home in general just to give attractive colors in food and beverages , thereby stimulating appetite . in short , the use of dyes are intended for :
• Provide attractive colors that stimulate appetite .
• Restore the original colors that might be lost in food processing .
• Maintaining the color of the product . Natural dyes derived from plants or animals . example is caramel / brown , leaf suji / green , and saffron / yellow . Natural dyes are safer for consumption , but the variance and limited. In contrast dye synthesis is more diverse and numerous. However it is very dangerous to the health of the body can even trigger the growth of cancer cells / korsinogen . Among other kinds tartrazine / yellow , indigo carmen / blue .
2 . sweetener
Sweeteners are ingredients / substances added to food and beverages which serves to provide a sweet taste . Similarly, dyes , sweeteners also there are 2 kinds , the first is a natural sweetener that among other stuff , brown sugar , cane sugar and granulated sugar . The advantages of this natural sweetener is to have a high calorific value and is easily digested by the body . Both are synthetic sweeteners which are many and varied kinds such as saccharin , cyclamate , aspartame , acesulfame , sorbitol and glycerol . Excess calories in the body can lead to obesity / overweight . one way to avoid obesity is to replace the sugar with a high calorific value synthetic sweetener low calorie value . Commonly used synthetic sweetener is aspartame and acesulfame types . However, the synthesis of a wide variety of sweeteners has been banned due to suspected carcinogenic / cancer causing .
3 . preservative
Most food can not be stored for a long time , because it will soon be stale / rotten by bacteria and fungi . Therefore , efforts need to preserve and extend the life / durability of food . Pickling is done based on the principle of micro- organisms kill spoilage or create certain conditions , so that microorganisms will not flourish .
Along with time and the development of science , also found a variety of ways to preserve the following:
• Drying
Drying can be performed with the drying or heating . Drying means removing water . Examples : beef jerky and dried fish .
• Freezing / cooling
Freezing causes water to freeze so that bacteria can not grow and can slow the metabolism of bacteria .
• Canning / canning
Then heated foodstuffs in tightly packed cans under sterile conditions . For example : different kinds of canned fruit and milk .
• Iridiasi / radiation
Ultra violet rays or gamma rays can incase / inhibit the growth of bacteria without damaging the food . For example : potatoes , shrimp
• Preservatives
Preservatives added to food to kill / prevent bacterial growth so that food becomes more durable . For example, salted fish , meat .
Examples include natural preservatives , sugar , salt , and vinegar . As for the preservative sodium benzoate example is the synthesis and sodium nitrite .
• Sugar and salt
Sugar and salt are the oldest preservatives and natural . Frequently used salt to preserve fish and meat , while sugar to preserve the fruit . Salt and sugar can be deadly because it can cause plasmolysis microorganisms . Plasmolysis is the release event of the fluid inside the cell due to differences kepeketan . When microorganisms in contact with highly concentrated solution , then water will come out in the cell body toward the solution . As a result, microorganisms will shrink and die .
• Vinegar
Usually used to make pickles and preserves . Highly acidic conditions do not allow for microorganisms to live .

• Sulfur Dioxide
The use of these substances for preserving dried fruit and jam . In addition to preservatives, is also used to bleach flour and nut cheese . However, these substances have two drawbacks , namely the less savory aroma and can destroy vitamin B ¹ .
• Sodium Benzoate and Benzoic Acid
This substance is often used in a variety of fruit juices and other beverages . These substances can stop the growth of bacteria and yeast .
• Sodium Nitrite
Often used to preserve meat , but it can be used to provide an attractive pink color on the food . This substance menghanbat growth of pathogenic bacteria ( baketri which can be harmful and cause disease ) .
4 . flavoring materials
Flavoring is very commonly used include: salt , sugar , vinegar , spices , monosodium glutamate ( MSG ) .
5 . antioxidants
Antioxidants are used to prevent rancidity in fatty and oily foods . For example , cooking oil , cheese , bread , sauces etc. . This happens because of rancidity of fats / oils undergo a process called oxidation . Examples of natural antioxidants , among others lecithin , vitamin Edan askarbot acid ( vitmin C ) . Examples of synthetic antioxidants , such as BHA ( Butylated hydroxyanisole ) and BHT ( Butylated hydroxytoluene ) .
6 . supplement your diet
Nutritional additives enhancer is primarily to prevent deficiency ( deficiency of certain foods ) . As an example of the addition of salt with iodine in table salt , vitamin C in fruit juices , vitamin D and calcium in milk .
7 . thickener
Thickener additives are used to stabilize , concentrate or thicken foods mixed with water , thus forming a certain viscosity . Examples of thickeners are starch , gelatin , and gum ( agar, alginate , carrageenan ) .


8 . emulsifiers
Emulsifier ( emulsifier ) is a substance that can maintain the fat dispersion in water and vice versa . In the absence of emulsifying mayonnaise , then the fat will separate from the water . Examples of the emulsifier is lecithin in egg yolk , gum arabic and glycerin .

9 . anti kempal

This additive can prevent pengempalan floured foods . Example : aluminum silicate ( powdered milk ) , and calcium aluminum silicate (table salt )

10 . amplifier

This additive can harden or prevent softening of food . Example : aluminum ammonium sulphate ( pickled cucumber on the bottle ) , and potassium gluconate ( in the fruit )

11 . sequestrant

Is a material that binds metal ions present in the diet . Example : phosphoric acid ( the fats and edible oils ) , potassium citrate ( the ice cream ) , calcium disodium EDTA and disodium EDTA

12 . Bleach and flour embankment

These additives can accelerate the maturation process of bleaching or flour so as to improve the quality of roasting . Example : Ascorbic acid , acetone peroxide , and potassium bromate

13 . acidity regulator

This additive can acidify , neutralize , and maintain food acidity . Example : acetic acid , aluminum ammonium sulphate , ammonium bicarbonate , hydrochloric acid , lactic acid , citric acid , tentrat acid , and sodium bicarbonate



Danger additives
If you consume artificial additives in foods and excessive amounts for long periods of time can cause health problems such as:
