The list of added chemicals and additives on the food and beverage labels often reads bewildering. Even though the food and beverage chemicals are habitually thought of as harmful substances, knowing their advantages and disadvantages for certain applications, manufacturers make wise, healthy, and safe food choices for their use.
Food and beverage chemicals reserve shelf life by eliminating or reducing the growth of microorganisms causing the food decay. With growing health concerns, consumers demand for food and beverage supply which is nutritious, flavored, convenient, safe, and affordable. The consumers are also willing to pay premium prices for nutritious and safe food and beverage products.
