| | Preservative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Preservative food additives are often used alone, or in conjunction with other methods of food preservation. | | | A distinction is sometimes made between anti-microbial preservatives which function by inhibiting the growth of insects, bacteria and fungi, and antioxidants, which inhibit the oxidation of food constituents. | | | A preservative is a natural or synthetic chemical that is added to products such as foods, pharmaceuticals, paints, biological samples, etc. to retard spoilage, whether from microbial growth, or undesirable chemical changes. |
