3.2.3. Effect of various food additives in soy sauce model systems
Fig. 2 showed the change in the formation of furan in soy sauce with various food additives compared to control samples every 5 days up to 30 days. A previous study (Mark, Pollien, Lindinger, Blank, & Mark, 2006) showed that furan formation was affected in various model systems by the addition of specific additives.
Based on a paper utilizing food additives, the present experiment was performed to investigate the effect of various food additives and confirm the variation in the levels of furan. All food additives used in this study were listed in the MFDS database (MFDS-a,2014).
