Informal food markets: What it takes to make them safer
Consumer awareness of food antioxidants. Synthetic vs. Natural
Abstract Food antioxidants are a core topic of food science due mainly to the consumption of ultra-processed foods, which cannot be overlooked, and represent an importance to modern society. At the same time, natural food antioxidants are gaining attention in studies due to its food safety aspects, that commonly affect food choices. Based on this, ...
