Titanium dioxide is a naturally occurring oxide of the element titanium.

There are a number of industrial applications for this mineral. For one thing, it has very high refraction properties. In fact, titanium dioxide is one of the whitest materials known to exist on Earth.

As a pigment, titanium dioxide is used to enhance the white color of certain foods, such as dairy products and candy. It also lends brightness to toothpaste and some medications. However, it is also used as a food additive and flavor enhancer in a variety of non-white foods, including dried vegetables, nuts, seeds, soups, and mustard, as well as beer and wine.

 

 

 

Citric acid is a organic acid. It is a natural preservative and is also used to add an acidic, or sour, taste to foods and soft drinks. It also serves as an environmentally benign cleaning agent and acts as an antioxidant.

Citric acid exists in a variety of fruits and vegetables, most notably citrus fruits. Lemons have particularly high concentrations of the acid.

 

 

 

Monosodium glutamate, also known as sodium glutamate and MSG, is a sodium salt of the naturally occurring non-essential amino acid glutamic acid. It is used as a food additive and is commonly marketed as a flavour enhancer.

Like the sodium salts of other amino acids, MSG is a stable colourless solid that is degraded by strong oxidizing agents.

MSG is used extensively in cooking. its use is not confined to Asian cuisine. MS is a very popular seasoning in North America. Throughout the food industry, MSG is becoming an increasingly popular way to add flavor to packaged foods such as soups, sauces, seasonings, and instant snacks.

 

 

 

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) commonly known as Caustic Soda in available in different forms like Flakes, Lye and Prills. It is hygroscopic and readily absorbs water from the air. It is very soluble in water with liberation of heat.

It is used as a raw material in the manufacturing of soaps, detergents, textiles and paper. Also used in water softening, refining petroleum products, sanitation, hygiene and production chemicals. In food and drug industry, it is used as acidity regulator, alkali, and pigment.

 

 

Potassium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the formula KOH. Its common name is caustic potash. Along with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), this colourless solid is a prototypical strong base. It has many industrial and niche applications. Most applications exploit its reactivity toward acids and its corrosive nature.

Applications: Dye Stuff Industry, Rubber Chemicals, Potassium Permanganate manufacture, Acid Neutralization, Pharmaceutical Industry

 

 

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a very pale blue liquid, slightly more viscous than water, that appears colorless in dilute solution. It has strong oxidizing properties, and is a powerful bleaching agent. It is used as a disinfectant, antiseptic, oxidizer, and in rocketry as a propellant. The oxidizing capacity of hydrogen peroxide is so strong that it is considered a highly reactive oxygen species.

About 50% of the world's production of hydrogen peroxide in 1994 was used for pulp- and paper-bleaching. Other bleaching applications are becoming more important as hydrogen peroxide is seen as an environmentally benign alternative to chlorine-based bleaches.

 

 

 

Phosphoric acid, also known as orthophosphoric acid is a mineral (inorganic) acid having the chemical formula H3PO4. It is odorless and colourless liquid which is soluble in water and alcohol.

It is widely used in applications like, Pre-Metal Treatment Chemicals, Sugar Refining, Anodising, Stabilising Agent(Hydrogen Peroxide), Waste Water Treatment Chemicals, Activated Carbon, Soaps and Detergents, Tea-leaf Processing, etc.

 

 

Ammonium bifluoride is a inorganic compound. It is produced from ammonia and hydrogen fluoride. It crystallizes as small prisms, having a sharp saline taste, and is exceedingly soluble in water.

Applications:
-To acidize oil wells in Silicate rocks to regenerate oil flow
-For removal of siliceous scales from boiler tubers, heat exchangers, condensers, economizers, etc.
-In pickling of Steel, Aluminium, Brass, Magnesium, Titanium, etc.
-In Aluminium anodizing formulation
-As a bactericide in Sugar industry
-For frosting, polishing, and etching of glass.
-As preservations of wood
