Additives (Food Industry)

Additives are chemicals which are added to food to perform many functions, including: extension of shelf life (preservatives); improving taste (flavourings), or appearance (colourings), or texture, or even improve the nutritional value of the food (adding vitamins or minerals). Additives are often only safe at low concentrations so the amount of additive added should be carefully controlled.
See preservatives.

Additives (Wood)

Chemicals which are added to coatings in small amounts to alter the physical or chemical properties of the finish. For example, certain additives can reduce the drying time of alkyd (oil-based) finishes.
