Reacting to pressure from consumer groups and general public demand, much has been achieved in the display of data on packaged processed food with regards to its components and nutritional value, as well as there being an indication of the presence of any additives such as preservatives and colours, all identified by E-numbers. Greener processes for the manufacture of dyes and related chemicals Having accepted that, at least as far as the coloration of textiles is concerned, we must continue to rely on manufactured dyes, there are many possibilities that they may in the future be synthesised using greener chemistry; for example, using less energy, eliminating or more efficiently recycling organic solvents or achieving higher yields with minimal by-product formation. ./cache/cord-022839-l0tx596g.txt ./txt/cord-022839-l0tx596g.txt
