Sure! Here are the definitions of the word lists in their simplest form:

  2. Unintentional Food Additives: Substances that accidentally become part of food during production, processing, or packaging (e.g., contaminants, residues from pesticides, or trace amounts of other ingredients).

  3. Food Preserving: Methods used to prevent food spoilage and extend its shelf life (e.g., refrigeration, freezing, drying, canning, and using preservatives).
