The purpose of the Determining Food Dye Content Lab was to identify the food dye coloring in green apple Gatorade, and determine the dye’s concentration to ultimately recreate a solution containing the same concentration of dyes as the original. To determine the concentration of the dyes present in the green apple Gatorade, a spectrometer was used to measure the wavelengths and absorbance values for the given dyes. A sample of the green apple Gatorade was tested in the spectrometer to measure…

Tartrazine, saccharin, BHT, and sodium nitrate: typical ingredients you will find in foods in a stroll down any supermarket aisle. I have always pondered about the effects of such additives that are prevalent within food.

Every child is different and every child will have a different degree of ADD. (Merlin, 2009). As said above additives and preservatives are a big thing to remove from the diet especially MSG and tartrazine. Children with ADD suffer from lowered immune systems and they therefore cannot release toxins and this is why gluten and casein should be taken out. Reason being is because it causes them not to release toxins in their systems and they cannot break it down. This causes a lowered immune system…

changes the surface tension of the liquid parts of the food. A neutralizing agent keeps the food from becoming too acidic or too alkaline. Sodium phosphate is good for the body. Both sodium and phosphate are essential nutrients needed to maintain a fluid-electrolyte balance. Calcium phosphate is a food additive. In foods, calcium phosphate is used to prevent caking, and act as a leavening agent. It can be added to boost the calcium content and can even be used to create calcium supplements.…
