antioxidant

Antioxidants are substances which hinder biological deterioration due to oxidation (reaction of oxygen with foodstuffs). Through the addition of antioxidants, foods maintain their taste and color for a longer period and are edible for a longer time. We differentiate between:

• naturally occurring antioxidants (E-numbers 300-309,
  e.g. Vitamin C)
• artificial antioxidants (E-Number 310-321, e.g. gallate).

Use is subject to strict EU regulation. All antioxidants must be declared on packaging with name or E-Number.
