Overview

E946 - octafluorocyclobutane

Octafluorocyclobutane (E946) is a colorless, odorless gas used in some regions as a propellant for aerosol food products. It does not add taste, texture, or calories; it simply helps push the food out of the can cleanly.

E948 - Oxygen

Oxygen (E948) is a colorless, odorless gas used in food packaging to help keep some foods looking and tasting their best. In “modified atmosphere packaging” (MAP), it can be added to the headspace of a pack, especially for red meats, to support a bright, appealing color and maintain product quality. It is the same oxygen found in air, but supplied at food-grade purity for safety.
