The ingredients of natural flavoring such as beet powder, lecithin, garlic powder, black pepper, spices, or vitamin C; all of which have been extracted from plants (Shereen Jegtvig).

Food additives are eatable chemicals which make food appetizing and keep it fresh. The final goal to utilize these chemicals is to save production cost. For instance, strawberry gummies people eat are usually flavored with food additives to mimic “strawberrish” smell, taste, and color. Manufacturers paint gummies with red, orange, blue, and green dye because the cost of food dyes is incredibly cheaper than the cost of real fruit to flavor the same amount of gummies. Alternatively, orange juice is another typical example of food products with food additives. The amount of juice squeezed from one orange is really small. It cannot fill even a small cup.

Consumers commonly perceive “natural” claims as “clean,” “pure,” and “healthy,” sometimes creating the false sense that a product has health benefits (National Consumers League 2012; Rozin et al. 2004). However, no scientific definitions or regulations of natural claims currently exist to reduce confusion and ambiguity for consumers. The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has not regulated natural claims and only briefly defined the term “natural” as not containing “added color, artificial flavors, or synthetic substances” (FDA 2016). The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) defined “natural” as “no artificial ingredients, coloring ingredients, or chemical preservatives” and “no more than minimally processed” (USDA 1999). However, this guideline only pertains to meat and poultry products, and the claims do not have to be certified. Consequently, many food companies make natural claims about their products, regardless of consumer conceptions of natural and regardless of the

One of the essential needs necessary for the survival of organisms is the need of nutrients. Nutrients are able to be consumed depending on the biological kingdom of the organisms. Plants receive the nutrients from the soil and the sun because of their ability to produce nutrients from sun light using their chlorophyll .However, Animals and specifically human beings gain nutrients in a different form.

Food preservation began when man first learned to safeguard food from one harvest to the next and by the salting and smoking of meat and fish. The Egyptians used colors and flavorings, and the Romans used saltpeter (potassium nitrate), spices and colors for preservation and to improve the appearance of foods. Cooks regularly used baking powder as a raising agent, thickeners for sauces and gravies, and colors, such as cochineal, to transform good-quality raw materials into foods that were safe, wholesome and enjoyable to eat.
