Chelating Agents Sequestrants

Chelating agents have acquired greater importance in food processing. Their ability to bind metal ions has contributed significantly to stabilization of food color, aroma and texture. Many natural constituents of food can act as chelating [Pg.455]

Traces of heavy metal ions can act as catalysts for fat or oil oxidation. Their binding by chelating agents increases antioxidant efficiency and inhibits oxidation of ascorbic acid and fat-soluble vitamins. The stability of the aroma and color of canned vegetables is substantially improved. [Pg.455]

Citric acid Na-, K-, Ca-salts, monoisopropyl ester, monoglyceride ester, triethyl ester, monostearyl ester. [Pg.455]

In the production of herb and spice extracts, the combination of an antioxidant and a chelating agent provides an inproved extract quality. Chelating agents are also used in dairy products, wherein their deaggregating activity for the casein complexes is often utilized in blood recovery processes to prevent clotting and in the sugar industry to facilitate sucrose crystallization, a process which is otherwise retarded by sucrose-metal complexes.
