Natural Additives
Natural additives are substances derived from natural sources, such as plants, minerals, or animals, that are added to food products to enhance flavor, color, or preservation. Unlike synthetic additives, which are chemically manufactured, natural additives are often perceived as healthier options. Common examples include honey for sweetness, citrus extracts for flavor, and sea salt for seasoning.
These additives can also serve functional purposes, such as improving texture or extending shelf life. Many consumers prefer natural additives due to growing concerns about the potential health risks associated with artificial ingredients. As a result, the demand for products containing natural additives has increased in recent years.
