Is the power of using food additives in China, with the competitiveness of products in China's food additives output but now accounts for only about 15% of the international trade, but in terms of certain varieties, has been occupies an important position and influence in the world, in addition to the traditional export natural essence and a variety of unique to China, some recent developed varieties also shows its good export competitiveness.At present, the domestic biosynthesis additives with industrial scale are mainly citric acid, enzyme preparation, vitamin C, streptozotocin, monosodium glutamate and other dozens of products.

At present, the domestic biosynthesis additives with industrial scale are mainly citric acid, enzyme preparation, vitamin C, streptozotocin, monosodium glutamate and other dozens of products.At the same time, domestic enterprises should see that the consumption trend abroad has shifted to natural products, and the development of synthetic additives will be restrained. As China conforms to the world standard, natural products will become the mainstream direction of domestic consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to pay close attention to the changes of market demand in product development and production.

There are 23 categories and more than 2,000 varieties of food additives, including acidity regulators, anti-coagulants, defoaming agents, antioxidants, bleach agents, leavening agents, colorants, color protectants, enzyme preparations, flavor enhancers, nutrient enhancers, preservatives, sweeteners, thickeners, flavorings and so on.
