What is Provisional Chapter Title: Food Additives and Reactions: Part 1 about?

Food additives have been used since ancient times. Naturally occurring and derived or synthetic compounds have been used to amend taste, texture, color, appearance, and preservation of foods. Additives are consumed daily in forms of foods and pharmaceuticals and are easy targets for food or ingestion associated adverse reactions. Adverse reactions to additives include urticaria, angioedema, asthmatic and anaphylactic reactions. While the concern of additive-induced reactions exist, IgEmediated and immunological reactions are quite rare with prevalence 1-2%. In this chapter, we discuss and describe adverse reactions to food additives. We also highlight studies that attempt to address potential molecular mechanisms of food reactions. Finally, we also review and provide specifics for how to evaluate and diagnose potential food allergies in the clinic.
