are substances added tofoodto preserveflavoror enhance taste, appearance, or other sensory qualities. Some additives have been used for centuries as part of an effort to preserve food, for examplevinegar(pickling), salt (salting),smoke(smoking),sugar(crystallization), etc. This allows for longer-lasting foods such asbacon,sweetsorwines. With the advent of processed foods in the second half of the twentieth century, many additives have been introduced, of both natural and artificial origin.
