However, substances,should not be considered as food additives when they are,used for the purpose of imparting flavour and/or taste or,for nutritional purposes, such as salt replacers, vitamins,and minerals. Moreover, substances considered as foods,which may be used for a technological function, such as,sodium chloride or saffron for colouring and food enzymes,should also not fall within the scope of this Regulation.,However, preparations obtained from foods and other,natural source material that are intended to have a technological,effect in the final food and which are obtained by,selective extraction of constituents (e.g. pigments) relative,to the nutritive or aromatic constituents, should be considered,additives within the meaning of this Regulation.,Finally, food enzymes are covered by Regulation (EC),No 1332/2008 of the European Parliament and of the,Council of 16 December 2008 on food enzymes (4), which,excludes the application of this Regulation.,(6) Substances not consumed as food itself but used intentionally,in the processing of foods, which only remain as residues,in the final food and do not have a technological,effect in the final product (processing aids), should not be,covered by this Regulation.
