ALSO ACT AS

Flavoring agents find widespread application across a variety of food products, including canned meals, packaged curries, ready-to-eat convenience foods, soft drinks, tobacco blends, savoury seasonings, chewing gum, and traditional mouth fresheners. Their primary role is to enhance or replicate taste, allowing manufacturers to achieve consistent flavour profiles regardless of ingredient variability.

Preservative agents, by contrast, are predominantly employed to extend shelf life and inhibit microbial growth. They are commonly added to meat products, sausages, chutneys, pickles, ketchup, and numerous ready-to-eat items where refrigeration may be limited.

​Aromatic agents serve to create inviting scents and are therefore ubiquitous in culinary applications, beverages, scented candles, room-freshening sprays, diffuser oils, and aromatherapy formulations. In each case, the goal is to invoke a particular olfactory response that complements the product's primary function.

Coloring agents are chiefly found in baked goods and a range of personal-care articles, including soaps, clay masks, and cosmetics. They provide visually appealing finishes that often signal freshness or quality to the consumer.

Therapeutic compounds are integral to many medicinal and pharmaceutical products. They appear in cough syrups, insulin formulations, topical skin treatments, allergy medicines, and dental preparations, where they exert specific biochemical effects on the body.

Finally, nutritional products frequently incorporate specialised extracts aimed at cognitive support, detoxification, mood enhancement, and weight management. Whether marketed as brain tonics, anti-depressants, or dietary supplements, these formulations cater to consumers increasingly interested in targeted health benefits.
