Abstract

Today, the lifestyle of mankind, living conditions, increase in social well-being, improvement of working conditions, increase in annual income require the development of all areas of society. In particular, in the production industry, apart from the quality and shelf life of the product, its appearance, uniqueness, variety of colors, packaging, long-term storage are highly appreciated by consumers. These reasons force experts to improve the product processing stage. Widespread use of food additives remains the main means of meeting these demands. These additives completely change the organoleptic properties of the product and serve for long storage. The main contribution of such additives corresponds to food additives with small particles. These additives include: titanium dioxide (E171), iron oxide (172), gold (175), silver (174), silicon dioxide (E551) and others.
