Dimethylpropiothetin
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate, also known as dimethylpropiothetin or S-dimethylsulfonium propionic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as carboxylic acid salts. Carboxylic acid salts are ionic derivatives of carboxylic acid. Dimethylsulfoniopropionate is slightly soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Dimethylsulfoniopropionate can be found in a number of food items such as sugar apple, american butterfish, coriander, and oxheart cabbage, which makes dimethylsulfoniopropionate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), is an organosulfur compound with the formula (CH3)2S+CH2CH2COO−. This zwitterionic metabolite can be found in marine phytoplankton, seaweeds, and some species of terrestrial and aquatic vascular plants. It functions as an osmolyte as well as several other physiological and environmental roles have also been identified. DMSP was first identified in the marine red alga Polysiphonia fastigiata by Frederick Challenger and Margaret Simpson (later Dr. Whitaker) .

Calcium propionate
Antimicrobial agent used as preservative in bread, cheese and other foods
Magnesium lactate
Buffering agent; dough conditioner; dietary supplement. Magnesium lactate, the magnesium salt of lactic acid, is a mineral supplement. Buffering agent; dough conditioner; dietary supplement
Iron(II) lactate
Nutrient supplement. May be used in infant formulas. Ferrous lactate, or iron(II) lactate, is a chemical compound consisting of one atom of iron (Fe2+) and two lactate anions. It has the chemical formula Fe(C3H5O3)2. It is used as a food additive with E number E585. It is an acidity regulator and colour retention agent, and is also used to fortify foods with iron. Nutrient supplement. May be used in infant formulas
Sodium propionate
Antimicrobial agent used in cheese and other foods
Potassium lactate
pH control agent. One of the least bitter-tasting salts available; finds wide used in the food industry. Potassium lactate is a compound with formula KC3H5O3. It is the potassium salt of lactic acid. It is produced by neutralizing lactic acid which is fermented from a sugar source. It has E number "E326". Potassium lactate is a liquid product that is usually 60\\% solids but is available at up to 78\\% solids. pH control agent. One of the least bitter-tasting salts available; finds wide used in the food industry
N,N-dimethyl-beta-alanine
N,n-dimethyl-beta-alanine is slightly soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). N,n-dimethyl-beta-alanine can be found in a number of food items such as shiitake, sparkleberry, swede, and almond, which makes n,n-dimethyl-beta-alanine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
N-methyl-beta-alanine
N-methyl-beta-alanine is soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). N-methyl-beta-alanine can be found in a number of food items such as common chokecherry, cauliflower, peach (variety), and plains prickly pear, which makes N-methyl-beta-alanine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Sodium lactate
Emulsifier, flavour-enhancer, humectant, pH control agent, glycerol substitute and other food processing uses. Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of lactic acid produced by fermentation of a sugar source, such as corn or beets. As a food additive, sodium lactate has the E number E325 and naturally is a Liquid product, but also is available in powder form. Emulsifier, flavour-enhancer, humectant, pH control agent, glycerol substitute and other food processing uses
