Food additives have become a necessity of all
types of food products and food industry. Right from the aroma of the
beverage, the texture of the food and its visual appeal, has to be
enriched to make it acceptable.
Propellants help expel the food from its container.
Propellants are sealed under pressure in an aerosol food container. They
enable an aerosol can to spray out its contents, like cream in a can with a
nozzle. Propellants should always be listed on the label by name rather than
using the class name propellant followed by the code number. Common
propellants used are Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen, Nitrous oxide, Butane,
Isobutane, Propane, Octafluorocyclobutane
