Food Additives Testing

Food additives testing are non-nutritious substances which are added to food to enhance its colour, appearance or flavour, aid in preservation, or serve similar functions. Increasing use of food additives is a concern as they pose a safety risk on the health of consumers. The regulators of most countries, including India, have laid down specifications for thousands of food additives for assessing its purity, quality and quantity added
