Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additives perform a variety of useful functions, providing many of the technological, aesthetic and convenient benefits that additives provide. In this context, additives can maintain or improve safety and freshness, nutritional properties, taste, texture and appearance. Yet, food additives are strictly studied, regulated and monitored, since evidence is required to ensure their safety for human health.
In this framework, this Special Issue intends to collate and share the collective knowledge regarding food additives of vegetable origin, considering the chemical characteristics, technological applications of processed food products and side effects on human health.
