This article focuses on the definitions, characteristics, core functions, and application ranges of various food additives, including acidity regulators, preservatives, sweeteners, amino acids, vitamins, and nutritional supplements. In the future, food additives will develop towards a more natural and higher-quality direction, making positive contributions to human nutrition and social sciences.

The effective application of acidity regulators is mainly controlled by the required characteristics of food, usually organic acids and salts with buffering effects. And because many organic acids are normal components of food, or participate in the normal metabolism of the human body, they are highly safe and widely used.

Acidity regulators, also known as pH regulators, are substances used to maintain or change the pH of food. Each acidity regulator has a different sourness and sourness profile. There are many ways to classify acidity regulators.
