Food additives from Ehlert - reliable quality

The modern kitchen would be hard to imagine without them: additives and aids for the food production industry. Whether as antioxidants, for smoking or thickening: hardly any food can do without them. Unfortunately, inferior qualities of these additives can also have a negative impact on the goods you produce. Ehlert therefore only offers you high-quality food additives and other aids in its online range. In German food law, additives and some aids are defined as substances that are added to a food for technological reasons. Taken on their own, additives do not belong to food, are not consumed as such and are not considered characteristic ingredients in certain foods. Food additives are therefore primarily compounds that are added to a food in order to achieve a very specific chemical, physical or physiological effect.

Food additives for every application

Food additives and other aids are used for the following tasks in food production, among others:

• to preserve food
• to thicken food
• as an anti-caking agent in food
• to improve spreadability
• to prevent the oxidation of food
• to inhibit microbial growth (delay spoilage)

In addition, additives are purchased and used to ensure the structure, taste, color or aroma of processed foods, for example. The utility or nutritional value of the products can be regulated and stabilized in this way, which in turn can ensure trouble-free production of the goods. In addition to classic additives such as thickeners, additives also include minerals and trace elements (except table salt), amino acids and vitamins A and D.

Additives facilitate processing
