Dictionary of food ingredients

The Dictionary of Food Ingredients is a concise, easy-to-use source of information on over 1,000 food ingredients and additives. It provides information on currently used ingredients and additives, including natural ingredients, FDA-approved artificial ingredients, and compounds used in food processing. Organized in alphabetical order, defenition entries cover ingredient functions, chemical properties, and uses in food products. This revised and updated fifth edition also features a new section, "Food Definitions and Formulations," a thoroughly expanded list of food ingredients approved for use in the European Union, with E numbers, as well as new information on existing and more recently approved ingredients.
