Additive groups used in baking:

  • Food coloring

  • The emulsifier (lecithin)
  • Stabilizers (sorbitol)
  • Thickeners - gelling agents (pectin, Xanthan gum)
  • Leavening agents (baking powder): Baking powder, baking soda and cream of tartar are all food additives commonly used in baking. Baking powder is a combination of baking soda and cream of tartar.
