Food Additive Testing in Wine

Food Additive Testing in Wine

Additives are widely used in different stages of food and wine production and have a wide range of uses. Food additives include flavorings, colorings, texture modifiers, nutrients, and preservatives. They are commonly used in food and beverage production to improve appearance, extend shelf life, aid production, confer health benefits and meet consumer expectations. Compared to other industries, only a few additives are allowed in the wine industry. For example, flavor additives are typically used to enhance the aroma and flavor of food and beverages, while adding flavoring agents to wine violates the legal definition of wine. To date, the acceptance and attitude of wine consumers toward additives used in wine production have not been determined.

Food Additive Testing in Wine

There are many different additives in the wine field, some of which have been used for centuries without any adverse effects. The purpose of these additives is not to adulterate, but to stabilize the wine, improve its quality, and/or prevent spoilage.
