I‘m doing a project on Food Additives, and I‘m confused regarding milk and water. Milk is used in its various processed forms such as milk powder, milk essence, low-sodium milk, lactose free milk, etc., and water is also now available as flavored water, sparkling water, etc., which can be used in various recipes. (Any recipes using flavored water??) So are milk and water food additives or not? What are the various other forms by which milk and water can be used for food processing?
In their natural state, they are not additives. I usually think of additives as chemical or unnatural ingredients such as MSG.
