Acetates

SMBS stands for Sodium Metabisulfite (Na₂S₂O₅), a white crystalline powder used as an antioxidant, preservative, and disinfectant. In industries, it serves in water treatment, textile bleaching, and food preservation (especially dried fruits). It releases sulfur dioxide when dissolved, which inhibits microbial growth. Though effective, it must be handled carefully due to its strong odor and potential irritant effects.

Demineralised water (DM water) is water that has had its mineral salts (like calcium, magnesium, sodium, and chlorides) removed through ion-exchange, distillation, or reverse osmosis. It is used in laboratories, pharmaceuticals, boilers, and electronics where mineral-free water is needed. While very pure, it is not suitable for drinking, as it lacks essential minerals needed by the human body.

Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate (SSL) is a food-grade emulsifier and dough conditioner that improves texture, volume, stability, and shelf life in baked goods and other food products.

Food-grade colorants are safe natural or synthetic additives used to enhance the color and visual appeal of foods, beverages, baked goods, confectionery, and desserts.

Maltodextrin is a versatile starch-derived ingredient used as a thickener, filler, stabilizer, and flavor carrier, improving texture, consistency, and shelf stability in foods, beverages, snacks, and baked goods.
