Products
Baking Powder
A dry chemical leavening agent, a mixture of a weak alkali and a weak acid, and is used to increase the volume and lighten the texture of baked goods. It is used instead of yeast for end -products where fermentation flavors would be undesirable. Because carbon dioxide is released at a faster rate through the acid-base reaction breads made by chemical leavening are called quick breads.
Corn Starch
Used as a thickening agent in soups and liquid-based foods, such as sauces, gravies and custards by mixing it with a cold liquid to form a paste or slurry. It is sometimes preferred over flour because it forms a translucent mixture. As the starch is heated, the molecular chains unravel, allowing them to collide with other starch chains to form a mesh, thickening the liquid.
Tartaric Acid
A white crystalline diprotic aldaric acid. It occurs naturally in many plants, particularly grapes, bananas, and tamarinds, is commonly combined with baking soda to function as a leavening agent in recipes, and is one of the main acids found in wine. It is added to other foods to give a sour taste, and is used as an antioxidant.
Food-grade Phosphoric Acid
Used to acidify foods and beverages such as various colas, but not without controversy regarding its health effects. It provides a tangy or sour taste, and being a mass-produced chemical is available cheaply and in large quantities. The low cost and bulk availability is unlike more expensive seasonings that give comparable flavors such as citric acid
Potassium Alum
An astringent/styptic and antiseptic. For this reason, it can be used as a natural deodorant by inhibiting the growth of the bacteria responsible for body odor. Use of mineral salts in such a fashion does not prevent perspiration. Its astringent/styptic properties are often employed after shaving and to reduce bleeding in minor cuts and abrasions, nosebleeds, and hemorrhoids.
Food Grade Paraffin Wax
Shiny coating used in candy-making, although edible, it is non digestible, passing right through the body without being broken down. It is also coating for many kinds of hard cheese, like Edam cheese. Can also be used as Ice cream topping. Mostly used in sealant for jars, cans, and bottles. Also being used as chewing gum additive.
Citric Acid
Can be added to ice cream as an emulsifying agent to keep fats from separating, to caramel to prevent sucrose crystallization, or to recipes in place of fresh lemon juice. Often used in cleaning products and sodas or fizzy drinks.
Sodium Hydrosulfite
A water-soluble salt, and can be used as a reducing agent in aqueous solutions. Used as such in some industrial dyeing processes. The reduction properties of sodium dithionite also eliminate excess dye, residual oxide, and unintended pigments, thereby improving overall color quality. Can also be used for water treatment, gas purification, cleaning, and stripping.
Aspartame
Used as a sugar substitute in some foods and beverages. An artificial sweetener, is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose, or table sugar. Due to this property, even though aspartame produces four kilo calories of energy per gram when metabolized, the quantity of aspartame needed to produce a sweet taste is so small that its caloric contribution is negligible.
Sodium Metabisulfite
Used as a preservative and antioxidant in food. Sodium metabisulfite and potassium metabisulfite are the primary ingredients in Campden tablets, used for wine and beer making.
Ascorbic Acid
One form (“vitamer”) of vitamin C. Its sodium, potassium, and calcium salts are commonly used as antioxidant food additives. These compounds are water-soluble and thus cannot protect fats from oxidation: For this purpose, the fat-soluble esters of ascorbic acid with long-chain fatty acids (ascorbyl palmitate or ascorbyl stearate) can be used as food antioxidants.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
It is an anionic surfactant used in many cleaning and hygiene products. It temporarily diminishes perception of sweetness, an effect commonly observed after recent use of toothpaste containing this ingredient.
