Lactic Acid

Lactic Acid is produced through a bacterial fermentation process, and it is used escepially in the food and medicine industries. Lactic acid is found primarily in sour milk products, such as koumiss, laban, yogurt, kefir, some cottage cheeses, and is coagulated (curdled) by lactic acid lactic acid is also responsible for the sour flavor of sourdough breads. This acid is used in beer brewing to lower the wort pH in order to reduce some undesirable substances such as tannins without giving off-flavors such as citric acid and increase the body of the beer.

Base Cysteine ??(L-)

Base Cysteine ??(L-) is an amino acid that has a semi-essential amino acid, which means that it can be biosynthesized in humans. Although classified as a non-essential amino acid, in rare cases, cysteine may be essential for infants, the elderly, and individuals with certain metabolic disease or who suffer from malabsorption syndromes. This product is used as a flavoring agent in many food applications.

Beta-Carotene

Beta-Carotene is a strongly colored red-orange pigment abundant in plants and fruits. It is an organic compound and chemically is classified as a hydrocarbon and specifically as a terpenoid (isoprenoid), reflecting its derivation from isoprene units. Absorption of Beta carotene is enhanced if eaten with fats, as carotenes are fat soluble. Carotene is the substance in carrots, pumpkins and sweet potatoes that colors them orange and is the most common form of carotene in plants. This product is often used as a food coloring agent.

Butylhydroxyanisole / BHA

Butylhydroxyanisole is an antioxidant consisting of a mixture of two isomeric organic compounds It is prepared from 4-methoxyphenol and isobutylene. It is a waxy solid used as a food additive with the E number E320. The primary use for BHA is as an antioxidant and preservative in food, food packaging, animal feed, cosmetics, rubber, and petroleum products. Since 1947, BHA has been added to edible fats and fat-containing foods for its antioxidant properties as it prevents rancidification of food which creates objectionable odors.

Butylhydroxytoluene / BHT

Butylhydroxytoluene also known as butylhydroxytoluene, is a lipophilic organic compound, chemically a derivative of phenol, that is useful for its antioxidant properties. European and U.S. regulations allow small percentages to be used as a food additive. Butylated hydroxytoluene is primarily used as a food additive that exploits its antioxidant properties. This product is used in many food applications such as food coloring and flavoring agents.
