Disodium Inosinate

Is the disodium, (sodium), salt of inosinic acid. It is a food additive often found in instant noodles, potato chips, and a variety of other snacks. It is used as a flavor enhancer, in synergy with monosodium glutamate, MSG.  As it is a fairly expensive additive, it is not used independently of glutamic acid; if disodium inosinate is present in a list of ingredients but MSG does not appear to be, it is possible that glutamic acid is provided as part of another ingredient or is naturally occurring in another ingredient like tomatoes, Parmesan cheese or yeast extract.


source

Disodium inosinate is a food additive. Like MSG (monosodium glutamate), which it often contains, disodium inosinate is often used as a flavor enhancer in packaged food products and in fast food such as hamburgers and tacos. It has several potential side effects.

Flushed skin and burning, numbness and tightness around the mouth area, sweating and swelling, gas.

Phosphoric Acid

Also called orthophosphoric acid, (H₃PO₄), the most important oxygen acid of phosphorus, used to make phosphate salts for fertilizers. It is also used in dental cements, in the preparation of albumin derivatives, and in the sugar and textile industries. It serves as an acidic, fruitlike flavouring in food products.


Pure phosphoric acid is a crystalline solid (melting point 42.35° C, or 108.2° F); in less concentrated form it is a colourless syrupy liquid. The crude acid is prepared from phosphate rock, while acid of higher purity is made from white phosphorus.

Metaphosphate

A metaphosphate is a salt or an ester of metaphosphoric acid, HPO3. Metaphosphates are condensation products of orthophosphoric acid (see phosphoric acid description) (H3PO4) with the sum formula (M'PO3) n. (M': univalent cation). In contrast to polyphosphates, metaphosphates store themselves to ring molecules together. As example the 6-Ring of the trimetaphosphate is represented.


Tetrametaphosphates form a similar 8-Ring.

Trimetaphosphates were used in former times in detergents; today due to the fertilization effect of the phosphates zeolites (stand silicates, as e.g. zeolite A) are used.

source


Zeolite: Any one of a family of hydrous aluminum silicate minerals, whose molecules enclose cations of sodium, potassium, calcium, strontium, or barium, or a corresponding synthetic compound, used chiefly as molecular filters and ion-exchange agents.

Caramel Color

There are caramel I, II, III, and IV. Caramel I (Plain Caramel, Caustic Caramel) is obtained by heat treating edible carbohydrates of sugars, hydrolyzed starch, and molasses. Or it can be obtained by treating with acids or alkalis (free of ammonium compounds and sulfites) followed by heat treatment.

         
Caramel II, (Caustic Sulfite Caramel) is obtained by treating edible carbohydrates of sugars, hydrolyzed starch, and molasses with sulfites (ammonium compount free) followed by heat treatment. Or it can be obtained by treating with sulfites, acids, or alkalis (free of ammonium compounds) followed by heat treatment.

Caramel III (Ammonia Caramel) is obtained by treating edible carbohydrates of sugars, hydrolyzed starch, and molasses with small amount of ammonium compounds, followed by heat treatment. It can be treated with acids or alkalis (free of sulfites) prior to heat treatment.

Caramel IV (Sulfite Ammonia Caramel) is obtained by treating edible carbohydrats of sugars, hydrolyzed starch and molasses with small amount of ammonium compounds and sulfites, followed by heat treatment. It can be treated with acids or alkalis prior to heat treatment.

source

Caramel coloring acts as an emulsifying agent that keeps flavor oils suspended in a solution. It is made by heating food-grade carbohydrates (such as corn syrup) to high temperatures. Usually an acid such as acetic, lactic or phosphoric acid is added to break the bonds between the sugars as it is heated to caramelization. The result is a burnt sugar that is the world’s most widely consumed (by weight) food coloring ingredient. It is not found only in colas, but also in sauces, gravies and baked goods.

One is called plain caramel.

A second involves reacting the sugar with sulfites.

A third is made be reacting sugars with ammonium compounds.

And in the fourth variety of caramel coloring--the kind used in Coke and Pepsi--sugars are reacted with both ammonium and sulfite compounds.

California public health officials recently placed 4-methylimidazole on the state's list of known carcinogens. Scientists at the University of California at Davis recently found significant levels of 4 methylimidazole in colas that far exceeds what the state considers to be safe. (Caramel IV)

Sodium Phosphate

Sodium phosphate is a generic term that may refer to any sodium salt of phosphoric acid. They're commonly added to food and may serve a variety of purposes. Sodium phosphates have been well studied and are generally considered safe when used as a food additive.

Sodium phosphate has caused serious kidney damage in some people. In some cases, this damage was permanent, and some people whose kidneys were damaged had to be treated with dialysis (treatment to remove waste from the blood when the kidneys are not working well).

Sodium Hexametaphosphate

A sodium metaphosphate glass formerly regarded as having the composition (NaPO3)6

source


This sequestrant, (any substance used to bring about chelation), thickener, emulsifier and texturizer is used in a variety of foods. The phosphorus in the additive helps to prevent mineral corrosion.


This additive contains phosphorus (see phosphoric acid) which is an essential nutrient, but when consumed without the balance of other minerals, may affect kidneys, heart and bones. In animal studies, the following effects were reported: pale and swollen kidneys, increased kidney weights, bone decalcification, muscle fiber size changes, hyperplasia and severe skin irritations.
