Abstract | ||||
The use of food additives in food processing is of great importance, because of their role in reducing food loss, through their work in preserving food from microbial contamination and preventing its spoilage. Its additives have become a market in international trade. They are traded and used in accordance with standards, conditions, and specifications that are set by international organizations and committees that are concerned with them, such as the World Health Organization, the US Department of Food and Agriculture, and the JIFCA Committee that specializes in examining reports on the uses of food additives. With these organizations and committees the International Economic Commission, the problem of high prices for additives and lack of quantitiesThe amount of sugar offered in the markets is one of the factors affecting production costs, production quantities, and the amount of exports of manufactured and preserved food products. It was shown through the results of the study that the actual production quantities of sugar fluctuated between increases, as the minimum reached in 2009 about 1,604 thousand tons, while it reached The maximum in 2018 was estimated at about 3377 thousand tons, while the average for the period as a whole was about 2161.5 thousand tons. The results of the general trend equation study showed that the amount of actual sugar production increased by astatistically significant amount of 1%, amounting to about 130.3 thousand tons, which represents about 2.69% of The average amount of actual production of refined white sugar amounted to about 2161.5 thousand tons during the study period, and the significance of the model as a whole was proven.The results of the study of the global demand for exports of cane, beet, and chemically pure sucrose to the world during the study period (2005-2020) showed that by increasing the export price of India and Guatemala by 1% each, this leads to an increase in the amount of Egyptian exports of sugar. | ||||
