Abstract: Food decay has been a typical issue all over the world. A significant part of the decay is caused by the microorganisms. Deterioration of food by microorganisms causes misfortunes of up to 40% of all food produced for human utilization around the world. Food additives have been in use for a long time. These food additives are the substances that stop or defer the development of microorganisms and so prevent them from decay. In spite of the fact that the ADI is fixed for each preservative, their unpredictable and long- term use in various food items raise an alarm. Each and every commercial producer or manufacturer add food additives to the food during its preparation. With the incredible increment in the utilization of food additives, especially food preservatives results in development of different physical and mental issues in human beings. A number of food preservatives are delisted from the approved list of additives in many countries. Security evaluation of food additives depends on the accessible toxicological information available on animals, plants or human beings and a number of adverse effects have been encountered by their regular use. In the present study two commonly used food preservatives Bromate and Propyle Gallate have been chosen for toxicity study to make the general public aware about the harmful effects of these chemicals in our food items.
