Acidity regulator - E339

Sodium phosphates

Refers to:	Monosodium phosphate, Disodium phosphate, Trisodium phosphate
Function:	Acidity regulator, Antioxidant
Product Uses:	Sodium phosphate is an acidity regulator and chelating agent (used to bind metal ions). It prevents desiccation and is used as an acid stabilizer in powders as well as to prevent formation of clumps. It increases the activity of antioxidants.
Notes:	Sodium salts of phosphoric acid. Normal constituent of the body. Commercially produced from phosphoric acid, which is produced from phosphate mined in the US. Daily Intake: Up to 70 mg/kg body weight.
Is it harmful?	Avoid - Toxic food additive that determine the apparition of serious disease. Digestive disease.

Acidity regulator - E338

Orthophosphoric acid

Alternate names:	E338
Function:	Acidity regulator, Antioxidant, Flavor Enhancer
Product Uses:	Food-grade phosphoric acid is used to acidify foods and beverages such as various colas. It provides a tangy and sour taste. Various salts of phosphoric acid, such as monocalcium phosphate, are used as leavening agents.
Notes:	Orthophosphoric acid is natural mineral inorganic acid, that is mined primarily in the USA. It is very inexpensive and often used as a substitute for other natural acids, as only a small amount of phosphoric acid is needed to get the same result as other organic acids. Daily Intake: Up to 70 mg/kg body weight. It has no side effects.
Is it harmful?	Avoid - Toxic food additive that determine the apparition of serious disease. Digestive disease.

Acidity regulator - E290

Carbon Dioxide

Alternate names:	E290
Function:	Acidity regulator, Propellant
Product Uses:	Typical products are Carbonated drinks, concentrates of fruit juice and nectar, wine, and pre-packaged foods.
Notes:	Carbon dioxide is a natural gas that's formed by the complete oxidation of carbon. It is used as a preservative, propellant and as a packaging gas that displaces oxygen in foods to inhibit the growth of bacteria which cause food spoilage, and to reduce the speed of oxidation. It is used in the carbonation of soft drinks by adding carbon dioxide to water forming carboxylic acid. Suspected of being a neurotoxic hazard. More than 10% in the air causes blackouts. Also there are possible links to infertility.

Acidity Regulator - E264

Ammonium Acetate

Alternate names:	E264
Function:	Acidity regulator, Preservative, Flavour enhancer
Product Uses:	Used in condiments, in the pickling of vegetables, bottled sauces, chutneys, snack foods, bread, cakes, cheese, crisps, dressings, mustards, seasonings, bakery items, ciders, wines (other than grape), mead, soups and broths, preserved eggs, pre-cooked past and noodle products.
Notes:	Ammonium acetate is the ammonium salt of acetic acid. It is a natural acid produced by bacterial fermentation and oxidation of natural products or ethanol. Commercially it's produced by the oxidation of acetaldehyde. It acts as a preservative, acidity regulator (acidulant), and anti-microbial agent, and is highly effective against bacteria and fungi. It is also used as a flavour enhancer to impart a biting, sour or tangy taste. May cause nausea, vomiting and there are concerns about carcinogenicity. Avoid where possible especially for children. Further research is needed on its long-term safety. Through our own personal research and experience our team will not recommend this additive.
