Citric Acid is a tricarboxylic acid found in citrus fruits. Citric acid is used as an excipient in pharmaceutical preparations due to its antioxidant properties. It maintains stability of active ingredients and is used as a preservative. It is also used as an acidulant to control pH and acts as an anticoagulant by chelating calcium in blood.

Sorbitol is a natural polyol with a sweetness level approximately half that of sucrose. Unlike monosaccharides, its structure does not contain any ketone or aldehyde functions. It is primarily used as a bulk sweetener to replace sucrose.

Cyclamate (or sodium cyclamate) is an artificial sweetener discovered in 1937 at the University of Illinois by a student named Michael Sveda.

Cyclamate is also known under the number E952.

Acésulfame K is 150-200 times sweeter than sugar. Acésulfame K is a very stable crystalline sweetener, with a chemical structure similar to saccharin. Acésulfame K is commonly used in combination with aspartame or other sweeteners because it has a synergistic effect to enhance and maintain the sweet taste of foods and beverages.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener discovered in 1965. It is a dipeptide composed of two natural amino acids, L-aspartic acid, and L-phenylalanine, the latter in the form of a methyl ester.

Mineral salts are chemical elements which enter into the composition of organisms and which are present in animal and plant food. They occur in ionic form, like Ca²? for calcium and Cl– for chlorine. These are substances essential to the body.

Milk protein concentrates, called MPC or Milk Protein Concentrate, are skimmed milk concentrates whose protein content (caseins and serum proteins) on dry matter is greater than 42% and preferably greater than 75%

Glucanases are enzymes that have the ability to break down glucans, which are polysaccharides composed of multiple glucose units linked together. These enzymes play a key role in breaking down the cell walls of plants, fungi, and bacteria.

Calcium phosphate is mainly used as an antioxidant but it can also be used as an acidity regulator, anti-caking agent, emulsifier, firming agent, raising agent, sequestrant, stabilizer or thickener.

Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an essential role in several biological functions of the human body.

Hemicellulose is composed of several different types of monosaccharide heterogeneous polymers; these sugars are five to six carbon sugars, including xylose, arabinose, mannose, galactose, and so on. In wood, xylan hemicellulose in tissues represents 50% of the total, combining on the surface of cellulose and interconnecting with microfibrils, forming a fibrous network in the shape of a disc connected cell structure.

The term magnesium phosphate is the generic name for inorganic magnesium salts derived from phosphoric acid.

Vitamin B12, also called cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the proper functioning of the human body.

E466, also known as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, is a food additive used in the food industry, pharmaceuticals and other applications.

Lipases are enzymes found in various organisms, including plants, animals and microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. Lipases used in the food industry can be derived from a variety of sources, including microorganisms and plants.
