Additives unintentional

Repeatedly in this book, the important functions of dopants , intentional additives made in small amounts to materials, have been highlighted the use of minor additives to the tungsten used to make lamp filaments is one major example. The role of impurities, both intentional and unintentional, in matters such as phase transformations, mechanical properties and diffusion, was critically reviewed in one of the early seminar volumes published by the American Society for Metals (Marzke 1955). But extreme purity was not considered that came a little later. 

Most early experiments devoted to verifying the scaling relationships have dealt with the full set of scaling relationships. Several more recent experiments have dealt with a reduced set of dimensionless parameters. In some experiments, additional scaling parameters were unintentionally matched. 

It is important to note that not only are directly added (intentional) substances, such as preservatives, considered food additives, but indirectly added (unintentional) substances, such as sanitizers used on processing equipment, may also be categorized as food additives. There are four groups of substances that are exempted from the Food Additives Amendment. They are ... 

The definition of a food additive in Section 201(s) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended ( the Act ) refers to substances whose intended use results directly or indirectly in the substance becoming a component of food. The FDA refers to direct food additives as those added to a food to accomplish an intended effect. Indirect additives are those that unintentionally, though predictably, become components of food. Components of plastic packaging materials that can migrate to food are indirect additives. 

Chemical contaminants are substances that are present in food or food additives either unavoidably or unintentionally. Typically, there are two types of chemical contaminants that are encountered ... 

EINECS is a closed list containing 100,106 entries and counts for about 99% of the chemicals volume on the market. EINECS include chemical substances produced from natural products by chemical modifications or purification, such as metals, minerals, cement, refined oil, and gas substances produced from animals and plants active substances of pesticides, medicaments, fertilizers, and cosmetic products food additives a few natural polymers and some waste and by-products. They can be mixtures of different chemicals occurring namrally or as an unintentional result of the production process. 

Possible synergistic action of the many intentional and unintentional food additives or contaminants... 

The use of microcapsules in food is generally that of an additive. By regulatory definition, a food additive is any substance which becomes added to food either intentionally or unintentionally other than food itself. This includes both compounds added directly and those that are added indirectly such as migrating from packaging materials. We will limit our discussion here to direct, intentional additives. This means, for example, that the Vitamin C in orange juice is not an additive but the Vitamin C added to orange juice is. 

Lipid vesicles have to be stable in either liquid suspension or in dried form with minimal unintentional release of enzyme under usual storage conditions. In addition, enzymes have to be released in a controlled manner. Innovative designs are needed to control release. 

Several authors (23,24) have reported photoassisted reactions between carbon and water yielding some hydrogen and C02. Photo-Kolbe reactions of carboxylates have also been demonstrated (25). However, neither addition of acetate to 0.08M nor an unintentional gross contamination of the 10M NaOH electrolyte with charred epoxy residue caused significant acceleration of hydrogen production in our experiments. The presence of carbon monolayers on SrTi03 shows the need for caution in evaluating photoreactions where the total product yield is on the order of one monolayer or less. 

There are certain limitations with cosolvent approach, as with any other approaches, as poor tasting cosolvent (PG), adverse physiological effects (e.g., alcohol) and potential of cosolvent on metabolic enzymes, transporters, and distribution and hence unintentionally altering drug pharmacokinetic properties. For solubilized parenteral application, choice of cosolvents is further limited by physiological acceptance, as well as precipitation on injection and pain on administration. However, the approach remains popular both for oral as well as parenteral application as demonstrated by numerous commercial products. In addition, application of newer cosolvents is increasing to overcome some of these barriers.
