A food additive colouring agent included with the number E150 in the list of European food additives. This number includes 4 types of Caramel :
They are obtained from sugar by an industrial process using high temperatures and burning. The colour is dark and can vary from brown to black.
For E150c and E150d, there is an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of about 200mg/kg body weight, while for E150a and E150b there is no ADI.
In particular, E150d - sulphite-ammoniacal caramel is a rather controversial colouring agent that is used in foodstuffs and is part of the E150 family of additives, all of which are colourants.

Drying is the most delicate part of the production preparation process and is the one that determines the quality of the final product and can be achieved by different methods:
Rosemary essential oil has an impressive number of uses.
Medical
In the phytochemical analysis, 18 components were identified, namely 13 flavones, two organic acids and three diterpenes. A total of 82 components were found in the volatile fractions, including hydrocarbon monoterpenes and 1,8-cineole, camphor, borneol and verbenone as dominant components, α-pinene and camphene among the oxygenated monoterpenes (1).
Among the polyphenolic components present in rosemary, carnosic acid has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties and rosmarinic acid has neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties.
Rosmarinic acid also has anti-oxidative properties.
Rosemary extract exerts a relaxing action on the muscles of the trachea and intestines and has therapeutic potential in the prevention of various diseases including cataracts, atherosclerosis, peptic ulcer disease, and cardiovascular disorders (2).
Rosemary essential oil obtained from leaves or flowers is used in dermatology to treat wounds and minor skin eruptions, in gastrointestinal disorders as an anti-dispeptic, diuretic and antispasmodic in renal colic (3), in neurology for headaches and circulation problems, in pneumology as an expectorant.

E338 (Phosphoric acid or Orthophosphoric Acid) is a chemical compound, polyprotic acid produced by phosphate minerals or by thermal process produced by elemental phosphorus.
It appears in the form of transparent oily liquid.
What it is used for and where
Cosmetics
Buffering agent. It is an iingredient that can bring an alkaline or acid solution to a certain pH level and prevent it from changing, in practice a pH stabiliser that can effectively resist instability and pH change.
Fragrance. It plays a very important role in the formulation of cosmetic products as it allows perfume to be enhanced, masked or added to the final product, improving its commercial viability. The consumer always expects to find a pleasant scent in a cosmetic product.
pH adjuster. This ingredient tends to restore the pH of a cosmetic formulation to its optimal value. The correct pH value is an essential determinant for lipid synthesis in the stratum corneum. The average physiological pH value of the face ranges between 5.67 and 5.76. The hair fibre has a pH value of 3.67.
Food
It is an ingredient labelled E338 in the European food additives list as an acidity regulator and chelating agent.
Safety
The Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings added to Food (FAF) provided a scientific opinion re-evaluating the safety of phosphates (E 338–341, E 343, E 450–452) as food additives. The Panel considered that (1). The Panel considered that phosphates have low acute oral toxicity and there is no concern regarding genotoxicity and carcinogenicity. The Panel calculated a group Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for phosphates expressed as phosphorus of 40 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day and concluded that this ADI is protective for the human population (1).
Other uses
It is used in an innumerable series of applications, from the medical to the industrial sector:

Lavandula angustifolia flower water is the oil obtained from the flowers of the aromatic perennial shrub Lavandula angustifolia Mill. the narrow-leaved lavender belonging to the Lamiaceae family. There are around forty varieties of the genus Lavandula, but only four varieties can provide a quality oil. Extraction is by steam distillation using the upper part of the plant, the part with the flowers.
Industrially it appears as a yellowish oily liquid
What it is used for and where
Medical
Lavender flowers and leaves are used in the form of extracts in phytotherapy to relieve anxiety, insomnia, and depression, while lavender's anti-inflammatory activity is due to its significant content of polyphenols, flavonoids, and oxygenated monoterpenes such as linalool (1).
This study considers that, in light of literature reports as an effective medical plant in the treatment of inflammation, depression and stress, due to its sedative and anxiolytic action, thrombotic and antimicrobial properties, the results demonstrate DNA protective activity (2).
Cosmetics
Tonic. This product is used to treat the hair when the scalp is clean or after shampooing. It stimulates hair growth, revitalises the scalp for healthy hair growth and reduces hair loss.
Fragrance. It plays a very important role in the formulation of cosmetic products as it allows perfume to be enhanced, masked or added to the final product, improving its commercial viability. The consumer always expects to find a pleasant scent in a cosmetic product.
Lavender extract and oil are commonly used in detergents, industrial and domestic cleaning products, and in hygiene due to the presence of higher levels of camphor. Although lavender essential oil is more widely used in cosmetics, the flower extract has very similar characteristics and is useful as a preservative, antibacterial and skin regenerator. Antibacterial substances of natural origin help control the growth of microorganisms in the skin microbiota and accelerate the development and regeneration of skin cells (3).
