INTRODUCTION
This volume contains specifications of identity and purity prepared at the fifty-seventh meeting ofthe Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), held in Rome, 5-14 June 2001. Thesespecifications should be considered only in conjunction with the Report of the above meeting which will beprinted in the WHO Technical Report Series. Toxicological monographs of the substances considered at the57th meeting of JECFA will be published in the WHO Food Additives Series as No. 48.
The general principles applied in the elaboration of specifications established at the earlier JECFAsessions have been published in the Principles for the Safety Assessment of Food Additives andContaminants in Food, WHO Environmental Health Criteria, No. 70, 1987. The specifications of identityand purity of food additives established by JECFA are meant to identify the substance that has been subjectto biological testing, to ensure that the substance is of adequate degree of purity for safe use in food, and toreflect and encourage good manufacturing practices. These principles were last reaffirmed by the 39thsession of JECFA in 1992.
The specifications are mainly established for the use of toxicologists and others concerned with theidentity and purity of the substance. As agreed by JECFA at its twenty-sixth meeting, specifications mayalso be established prior to the eventual completion of toxicological evaluation, in certain cases, when theavailable toxicological data are inadequate or incomplete, and do not permit the establishment of full ortemporary acceptable daily intakes (ADIs). References are made in individual specifications to some of thecriteria that may be of interest in commerce, but they do not necessarily include all the requirements ofinterest to the commercial user. These specifications are not more stringent than is necessary to accomplishtheir purpose and should easily be attainable by the producing industries. The report of the twenty-thirdsession gives the reasons why certain specifications are designated as "tentative".
There were a total of 342 specifications (25 food additives, uses other than flavouring agent; 317flavouring agents) prepared at the 57th session of which 193 were new. Thirty-two specifications weredesignated newly as tentative, for ninety-four flavouring agents the tentative status was maintained.
Comments and suggestions regarding this Volume are encouraged. Please send to Chief, FoodQuality and Standards Service, Food and Nutrition Division, FAO, Viale delle Terme di Caracalla, 00100Rome, Italy.

Notes to the Reader:
On-line edition of the Compendium for food additive specifications
A consolidated edition of the Compendium for food additive specifications is now available at FAO'sJECFA web-site (http://www.fao.org/es/ESN/jecfa/). The edition is divided into two sections: one coveringflavouring agents and the other covering all other food additives. Users can search by additive name ornumber (INS, JECFA No., FEMA, CAS). For additives other than flavouring agents, they can also search byfunctional use and purity criteria. Searches can also be conducted for all specifications designated astentative. The analytical methods for food additives which are published as Guide to JECFA Specifications(FAO Food and Nutrition Paper 5/Rev. 2), can be accessed as well, even with a direct link from the singlespecification.
The FAO Joint Secretariat to JECFA welcomes and encourages any feedback on this new tool andencourages suggestions how the availability of the results of JECFA's work can be improved. Please sendyour comments to [email protected].
New: Index by JECFA specifications title, chemical name, or synonym(s)
The structure of this edition was slightly changed. Following comments from users, the table ofcontents for the flavours sections has been replaced by a comprehensive index listing all names, chemicalnames, and synonyms in one comprehensive index.

CARRAGEENAN page 1 (8)
CARRAGEENAN
Prepared at the 57th JECFA (2001) and published in FNP 52 Add 9 (2001),superseding specifications prepared at the 51st JECFA (1998), published in FNP 52Add 6 (1998)). A group ADI “not specified” for carrageenan and processedeucheuma seaweed was established at the 57th JECFA (2001).
SYNONYMS Irish moss gelose (from Chondrus spp.); Eucheuman (from Eucheuma spp.);Iridophycan (from Iridaea spp.); Hypnean (from Hypnea spp.); Furcellaran or Danishagar (from Furcellaria fastigiata); INS No. 407.
DEFINITION A substance with hydrocolloid properties obtained from certain members of the classRhodophyceae (red seaweeds).
The principal commercial sources of carrageenans are the following families andgenera of the class of Rhodophyceae:Furcellariacaea such as FurcellariaGigartinaceae such as Chondrus, Gigartina, IridaeaHypnaeceae such as HypneaPhyllophoraceae such as Phyllophora, Gynmogongrus, AhnfeltiaSolieriaceae such as Eucheuma, Anatheca, Meristotheca.
Carrageenan is a hydrocolloid consisting mainly of the ammonium, calcium,magnesium, potassium and sodium sulfate esters of galactose and 3,6-anhydrogalactosepolysaccharides. These hexoses are alternately linked α-1,3 and β-1,4 in the copolymer.The relative proportions of cations existing in carrageenan may be changed duringprocessing to the extent that one may become predominant.
The prevalent polysaccharides in carrageenan are designated as kappa-, iota-, andlambda-carrageenan. Kappa-carrageenan is mostly the alternating polymer ofD-galactose-4-sulfate and 3,6-anhydro-D-galactose; iota-carrageenan is similar, exceptthat the 3,6-anhydrogalactose is sulfated at carbon 2. Between kappa-carrageenan andiota-carrageenan there is a continuum of intermediate compositions differing in degreeof sulfation at carbon 2. In lambda-carrageenan, the alternating monomeric units aremostly D-galactose-2-sulfate (1,3-linked) and D-galactose-2,6-disulfate (1,4-linked).
Carrageenan is obtained by extraction from seaweed into water or aqueous dilute alkali.Carrageenan may be recovered by alcohol precipitation, by drum drying, or byprecipitation in aqueous potassium chloride and subsequent freezing. The alcohols usedduring recovery and purification are restricted to methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol.Articles of commerce may include sugars for standardization purposes, salts to obtainspecific gelling or thickening characteristics, or emulsifiers carried over from drumdrying processes.

Test for sulfate Dissolve a 100-mg sample in 20 ml of water (with heating if necessary), and add 3 mlof barium chloride TS and 5 ml of hydrochloric acid, dilute TS; filter if a precipitateforms. Boil the solution or the filtrate for 5 min. A white, crystalline precipitateappears.
Test for galactose andanhydrogalactose
Proceed as directed under Gum Constituents Identification (FNP 5) using thefollowing as reference standards: galactose, rhamnose, galacturonic acid,3,6-anhydrogalactose, mannose, arabinose and xylose. Galactose and3,6-anhydrogalactose should be present.
Identification ofhydrocolloid andpredominant type ofcopolymer
Add 4 g of sample to 200 ml of water, and heat the mixture in a water bath at 80o,with constant stirring, until dissolved. Replace any water lost by evaporation, andallow the solution to cool to room temperature. It becomes viscous and may form agel. To 50 ml of the solution or gel add 200 mg of potassium chloride, then reheat,mix well, and cool. A short-textured ("brittle") gel indicates a carrageenan of apredominantly kappa type, and a compliant ("elastic") gel indicates a predominantlyiota type. If the solution does not gel, the carrageenan is of a predominantly lambdatype.

Infrared absorption Obtain infrared absorption spectra on the gelling and non-gelling fractions of thesample by the following procedure: Disperse 2 g of the sample in 200 ml of 2.5%potassium chloride solution, and stir for 1 h. Let stand overnight, stir again for 1 h,and transfer into a centrifuge tube. (If the transfer cannot be made because thedispersion is too viscous, dilute with up to 200 ml of the potassium chloridesolution.) Centrifuge for 15 min at approximately 1000 x g.
Remove the clear supernatant, resuspend the residue in 200 ml of 2.5% potassiumchloride solution, and centrifuge again. Coagulate the combined supernatants byadding 2 volumes of 85% ethanol or isopropanol (NOTE: Retain the sediment for useas directed below). Recover the coagulum, and wash it with 250 ml of the alcohol.Press the excess liquid from the coagulum, and dry it at 60o for 2 h. The productobtained is the non-gelling fraction (lambda-carrageenan).
Disperse the sediment (retained above) in 250 ml of cold water, heat at 90° for 10min, and cool to 60o. Coagulate the mixture, and then recover, wash, and dry thecoagulum as described above. The product obtained is the gelling fraction (kappa-and iota-carrageenan).
Prepare a 0.2% aqueous solution of each fraction, cast films 0.5 mm thick (when dry)on a suitable non-sticking surface such as Teflon, and obtain the infrared absorptionspectrum of each film. (Alternatively, the spectra may be obtained using films cast onpotassium bromide plates, if care is taken to avoid moisture).
Carrageenan has strong, broad absorption bands, typical of all polysaccharides, in the1000 to 1100 cm-1 region. Absorption maxima are 1065 and 1020 cm-1 for gellingand non-gelling types, respectively.

PURITY TESTS
Sulfate Principle: Hydrolysed sulfate groups are precipitated as barium sulfate.
Procedure:(a) Disperse an accurately weighed 8 g sample of commercial product into 400 ml of60% w/w isopropanol/water at room temperature. Stir gently for 4 h. Filter throughash-free filter paper. Discard the filtrate. Wash the material remaining on the filterpaper with two 10-ml portions of 60% isopropanol/water. Dry the material at 105° toconstant weight.

CARRAGEENAN page 4 (8)
Approximately 1 g of the dried matter is to be used for part (b). The remainder shouldbe retained for determination of Total ash and Acid-insoluble matter.
(b) Accurately weigh a 1 g sample (W1 ) obtained from part (a). Transfer the sampleto a 100-ml long-neck round-bottom flask. Add 50 ml of 0.2 N hydrochloric acid. Fita condenser, preferably one with at least 5 condensing bulbs, to the flask and refluxfor 1 h. Add 25 ml of a 10% (by volume) hydrogen peroxide solution and resumerefluxing for about 5 h or until the solution becomes completely clear. Transfer thesolution to a 600-ml beaker, bring to a boil, and add dropwise 10 ml of a 10% bariumchloride solution. Heat the reaction mixture for 2 h on a boiling water bath. Filter themixture through ash-free slow-filtration filter paper. Wash with boiling distilledwater until the filtrate is free from chloride. Dry the filter paper and contents in adrying oven. Gently burn and ash the paper at 800° in a tared porcelain or silicacrucible until the ash is white. Cool in a desiccator.
Weigh the crucible containing the ash. Calculate the percentage sulfate from theweight in g (W2) of the ash (barium sulfate) using the formula:
(W2/W1) x 100 x 0.4116
Total ash Accurately weigh 2 g of the dried sample (W1) obtained from part (a) under theprocedure for sulfate determination above. Transfer to a previously ignited, taredsilica or platinum crucible. Heat the sample with a suitable infrared lamp, increasingthe intensity gradually, until the sample is completely charred; continue heating foran additional 30 min. Transfer the crucible with the charred sample into a mufflefurnace and ignite at about 550º for 1 h. Cool in a desiccator and weigh. Repeat theignition in the muffle furnace until a constant weight (W2) is obtained. If a carbon-free ash is not obtained after the first ignition, moisten the charred spot with a 1-in-10solution of ammonium nitrate and dry under an infrared lamp. Repeat the ignitionstep. Calculate the percentage of total ash of the sample:
(W2/W1) x 100
Retain the ash for the Acid-insoluble ash test.
Viscosity Transfer 7.5 g of the sample into a tared, 600-ml tall-form (Berzelius) beaker, anddisperse with agitation for 10 to 20 min in 450 ml of deionized water. Add sufficientwater to bring the final weight to 500 g, and heat in a water bath with continuousagitation, until a temperature of 80o is reached (20 - 30 min). Add water to adjust forloss by evaporation, cool to 76-77o, and heat in a constant temperature bath at 75o.Pre-heat the bob and guard of a Brookfield LVF or LVT viscometer to approximately75º in water. Dry the bob and guard, and attach them to the viscometer, which shouldbe equipped with a No. 1 spindle (19 mm in diameter, approximately 65 mm inlength) and capable of rotating at 30 rpm. Adjust the height of the bob in the samplesolution, start the viscometer rotating at 30 rpm and, after six complete revolutions ofthe viscometer, take the viscometer reading on the 0-100 scale.
If the viscosity is very low, increased precision may be obtained by using theBrookfield UL (ultra low) adapter or equivalent. (Note. Samples of some types ofcarrageenan may be too viscous to read when a No. 1 spindle is used. Such samplesobviously pass the specification, but if a viscosity reading is desired for otherreasons, use a No. 2 spindle and take the reading on the 0-100 scale or on the 0-500scale.)
Record the results in centipoises, obtained by multiplying the reading on the scale bythe factor given by the Brookfield manufacturer.

Residual complexant(1-decanol)
Principle: After enzymatic digestion of the sample followed by solid-phaseextraction, 1-decanol is determined by gas chromatography.
Buffer solution: Dissolve 606 mg Tris-buffer (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis,MO,USA) and 430 mg calcium sulfate (dihydrate) in 500 ml of water. AdjustpH with concentrated phosphoric acid to pH 6.5.
Internal standard (IS) solution: Add 50 mg 1-octanol (chromatography grade)to 250 ml tetrahydrofuran (THF).
Reference solution (25 mg/kg 1-decanol): Dissolve 75.0 mg 1-decanol(chromatography grade) in 100 ml IS solution. Transfer 200 :l of this stocksolution into a 20-ml volumetric flask and fill with IS solution to the mark.
Sample solution: Dissolve 750 mg of sample and 50 mg of glucoamylase, EC3.2.1.3, (e.g.,Gluczyme 8000, available from Wacker Chemie, Munich,Germany) in 7 ml of a 10 mM Tris-buffer (pH 6.5). Add 100 :l IS solution and50 :l cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase preparation (500 U/ml) (Wacker Chemie,Munich, Germany). Close tightly, mix and incubate in a shaking water bath at40° for 4 hours.Condition an extraction column (Isolute C18 (10 ml) – ICT, Bad Homburg,Germany - or similar) by washing with methanol (2x10 ml) and water (4x10ml). Pass the incubated solution slowly through the column and wash withwater (2x10 ml). Gently pass nitrogen gas through the column to dry it (10min). Apply 2.5 ml of THF to the column and let stand for 5 minutes. Then,elute the sample solution slowly.

Calculation: The concentration of 1-decanol (mg/kg) in the sample is:
Cdec = (Cdec)R x (Adec/Aoct)S / (Adec/Aoct)R
where (Cdec)R is the concentration of 1-decanol (mg/kg) of the referencesolution; and (Adec/Aoct)S and (Adec/Aoct)R are the peak area ratios for 1-decanolto 1-octanol in the sample solution and reference solution, respectively.
Reducing substances Note: Reducing substances are determined as dextrose. Dextrose levels areusually lower when determined by the following procedure in the presence of α-cyclodextrin compared to levels determined in its absence. Therefore, α-cyclodextrin reference standard is included in the procedure for the constructionof the calibration curve.
Reagent solution: Weigh 10.0 g 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid in a 1000-mlvolumetric flask. Add 80 ml water and dissolve the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid byheating in a water bath. Prepare a solution of 16.0 g sodium hydroxide in 200ml water and a solution of 300 g sodium potassium tartrate in 500 ml water.Transfer both solutions to the 1000-ml flask. Fill with water to the mark, shakethe flask and let it stand for 24 hours. Filter (paper) the reagent solution prior touse if a precipitate appears.
Reference solution: Weigh accurately 1.0 g dextrose (anhydrous) in a 100-mlvolumetric flask and fill with water to the mark.
Test solution: Weigh accurately 10.0 g of test sample into a 100-ml volumetricflask, add 80-90 ml water and dissolve the test sample (ultra-sonification bath,15 minutes, 30o). Fill with water to the mark.
Calibration solutions: Weigh 1.0 g of reference α-cyclodextrin (available fromConsortium für Elektrochemische Industrie GmbH, München, Germany orWacker Biochem Group, Adrian, MI, USA) into each of eleven 10-mlvolumetric flasks (numbered 0 to 10). Add 0, 0.1, 0.2, ..., 1.0 ml of referencesolution to flasks nos. 0, 1, ... to 10, respectively. Fill all flasks with water to themark.
Calibration curve: Assemble a set of eleven 10-ml volumetric flasks. Transfer 1ml of each of the eleven calibration solutions into the flasks and add 1 ml ofreagent solution to each flask. Heat each flask in the boiling water bath for 10minutes. Cool rapidly to room temperature and fill with water to the mark. Foreach solution, measure the absorbance against water at 545 nm. Plot the data asabsorbance vs dextrose concentration (mg/ml).
Analysis: Prepare a set of six 10-ml volumetric flasks (labeled a through f) andadd 1 ml of the reagent solution to each. Transfer 1 ml of the test solution toflasks a, b, and c. Transfer 1 ml of the calibration solutions numbered 0, 3, and6 to flasks d, e, and f. Thoroughly mix the contents of each flask and place in aboiling water bath for 10 minutes. Then, cool the flasks to room temperature,fill to the mark with water, and measure absorbance of the solutions againstwater at 545 nm.
Evaluation and calculation: The result is only valid if the absorbances of thesolutions in flasks d-f do not deviate more than 5% from the calibration curve.Determine the reducing substance concentrations (mg/ml) of the solutions in

% reducing substances = 100 x WRS/0.01WTS
where WRS is the mean weight (mg) of reducing substance (as dextrose),determined from the absorbance readings, and WTS is the weight (mg) of the testsample used to prepare the test solution.
METHOD OF ASSAY Determine by liquid chromatography (FNP 5) using the following conditions:
Sample solution: Weigh accurately about 100 mg of test sample into a 10-mlvolumetric flask and add 8 ml of deionized water. Dissolve the samplecompletely using an ultra-sonification bath (10-15 min) and dilute to the markwith purified deionized water. Filter through a 0.45-micrometer filter.
Reference solution: Weigh accurately about 100 mg of reference α-cyclodextrin into a 10-ml volumetric flask and add 8 ml of deionized water.Dissolve the sample completely using an ultra-sonification bath (10-15 min) anddilute to the mark with purified deionized water.
Chromatography: Liquid chromatograph equipped with a refractive indexdetector and an integrating recorder.Column and packing: Nucleosil-100-NH2 (10 µm) (Machery & Nagel Co.,Düren, Germany) or similar
- length: 250 mm- diameter: 4 mm- temperature: 40°
Mobile phase: acetonitrile/water (67/33, v/v)Flow rate: 2.0 ml/minInjection volume: 10 µl
Procedure: Inject the sample solution into the chromatograph, record thechromatogram, and measure the area of the α-cyclodextrin peak. Repeat for thereference solution. Calculate the percentage of α-cyclodextrin in the testsample as follows:
% α-cyclodextrin (dry basis) = 100 x (AS/AR)(WR/WS)
where:AS and AR are the areas of the peaks due to α-cyclodextrin for the samplesolution and reference solution, respectively.WS and WR are the weights (mg) of the test sample and reference α-cyclodextrin, respectively, after correcting for water content.

Prepared at the 57th JECFA (2001) and published in FNP 52 Add 9 (2001)superseding specifications prepared at the 51st JECFA and published in FNP52 Add 6 (1998). The ADI of 0-50 mg/kg bw established at the 17th JECFA in1973 was changed to a temporary ADI until 2003 at the 57th JECFA (2001).
These specifications cover the two products Diacetyltartaric and fatty acidesters of glycerol (INS 472e) and Tartaric, acetic and fatty acid esters ofglycerol, mixed (INS 472f), which before 1998 had separate specifications,published in FNP 52 Add 5 (1997). The two specifications were combined atthe 51st JECFA into one single set of specification, published in FNP 52 Add 6(1998) under the name Diacetyltartaric and fatty acid esters of glycerol. Asspecifications no longer exist for Tartaric, acetic and fatty acid esters ofglycerol, mixed, the ADI "not limited" was withdrawn at the 57th JECFA(2001).

Total acetic acid Apparatus: Assemble a modified Hortvet-Sellier distillation apparatus as shownin the figure, using a sufficiently large (approximately 38- x 203-mm) innerSellier tube and large distillation trap.
Procedure: Transfer 4 g of sample, accurately weighed into the inner tube ofthe assembly, and insert the tube in the outer flask containing about 300 ml ofrecently boiled hot water. To the sample add 10 ml of approximately 4Nperchloric acid [35 ml (60 g) of 70% perchloric acid in 100 ml of water], andconnect the inner tube to a water-cooled condenser through the distillation trap.Distil by heating the outer flask so that 100 ml of distillate is collected within 20to 25 min. Collect the distillate in 100-ml portions, add phenolphthalein TS toeach portion, and titrate with 0.5N sodium hydroxide. Continue the distillationuntil a 100-ml portion of the distillate requires no more than 0.5 ml of 0.5N

sodium hydroxide for neutralization. (Caution: Do not distil to dryness.)Calculate the weight, in mg, of volatile acids in the sample taken by the formulaV x e, in which V is the total volume, in ml, of 0.5N sodium hydroxide consumedin the series of titrations and e is the equivalence factor 30.03.
Total tartaric acid Standard Curve: Transfer 100 mg of reagent-grade tartaric acid, accuratelyweighed, into a 100-ml volumetric flask, dissolve it in about 90 ml of water,add water to volume, and mix well. Transfer 3.0-. 4.0-, 5.0-, and 6.0-mlportions into separate 19- x 150-mm matched cuvettes, and add sufficient waterto make 10.0 ml. To each cuvette add 4.0 ml of a freshly prepared 1 in 20solution of sodium metavanadate and 1.0 ml of acetic acid. (Note: Use thesesolutions within 10 min after colour development.) Prepare a blank in the samemanner, using 10 ml of water in place of the tartaric acid solutions. Set theinstrument at zero with the blank, and then determine the absorbance of thefour solutions of tartaric acid at 520 nm with a suitable spectrophotometer or aphotoelectric colorimeter equipped with a 520-nm filter. From the data thusobtained, prepare a curve by plotting the absorbances on the ordinate againstthe corresponding quantities, in mg, of the tartaric acid on the abscissa.
Test Preparation: Transfer about 4 g of the sample, accurately weighed, into a250-ml Erlenmeyer flask, and add 80 ml of approximately 0.5N potassiumhydroxide and 0.5 ml of phenolphthalein TS. Connect an air condenser at least65 cm in length to the flask, and heat the mixture on a hot plate for about 2.5 h.Add to the hot mixture approximately 10% phosphoric acid until it is definitelyacid to congo red test paper. Reconnect the air condenser, and heat until thefatty acids are liquified and clear. Cool and then transfer the mixture into a250-ml separator with the aid of small portions of water and chloroform.Extract the liberated fatty acids with three successive 25-ml portions of water,and add the washings to the separator containing the water layer. Transfer thecontents of the first separator to a 250-ml beaker, heat on a steam bath toremove traces of chloroform, filter through acid-washed, fine-texture filterpaper into a 500-ml volumetric flask, and finally dilute to volume with water(Solution I). Pipet 25.0 ml of this solution into a 100-ml volumetric flask, anddilute to volume with water (Solution II). Retain the rest of Solution I for thedetermination of total glycerol.
Procedure: Transfer 10.0 ml of Solution II prepared under Test Preparation intoa 19- x 150-mm cuvette, and continue as directed under Standard Curve,beginning with "To each cuvette add 4.0 ml of a...". From the standard curvedetermine the weight, in mg, of tartaric acid in the final dilution, multiply thisby 20, and divide the result by the weight of the original sample for obtainingthe percentage of tartaric acid.
Total glycerol Transfer 5.0 ml of Solution I prepared in the test for total Tartaric Acid into a250-ml glass-stoppered Erlenmeyer or iodine flask. Add to the flask 15 ml ofglacial acetic acid and 25.0 ml of periodic acid solution, prepared by dissolving2.7 g of periodic acid (H5IO6) in 50 ml of water, adding 950 ml of glacial aceticacid, and mixing thoroughly; protect this solution from light. Shake themixture for 1 or 2 min, allow it to stand for 15 min, add 15 ml of potassiumiodide solution (15 in 100) and 15 ml of water, swirl, let stand 1 min, and thentitrate the liberated iodine with 0.1N sodium thiosulfate, using starch TS as theindicator. Perform a Residual Blank Titration using water in place of thesample. The corrected volume is the number of ml of 0.1N sodium thiosulfaterequired for the glycerol and the tartaric acid in the sample represented by the 5ml of Solution I. From the percentage determined in the Assay for TartaricAcid calculate the volume of 0.1N sodium thiosulfate required for the tartaricacid in the titration. The difference between the corrected volume and thecalculated volume required for the tartaric acid is the number of ml of 0.1Nsodium thiosulfate consumed due to the glycerol in the sample. One ml of 0.1Nsodium thiosulfate is equivalent to 2.303 mg of glycerol and to 7.505 mg of

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS FOR ENZYMEPREPARATIONS USED IN FOOD PROCESSING
Specifications prepared at the 57th JECFA (2001) and published in FNP 52(Addendum 9), superseding specifications prepared at the 35th JECFA (1989) andpublished in FNP 49 (1990) and in FNP 52 (1992); the general specificationsprepared at the 25th JECFA (1981) and published in FNP 19 (1981) and FNP 31/2(1984); amendments at the 51st JECFA published in FNP 52 Add 6 (1998);amendments at the 53rd JECFA (1999) and partially published in FNP 52 Add 7(1999).
Enzyme Nomenclature Recommendations (1992) of the Nomenclature Committee of the InternationalUnion of Biochemistry, Academic Press (1992) with later supplements. Enzymepreparations used in food processing are usually named according to the substrate towhich the enzyme is applied, such as protease or amylase. Some traditional namesare also in use, such as malt, pepsin and rennet.
DEFINITION Enzyme preparations consist of biologically active proteins, at times combined withmetals, carbohydrates and/or lipids. They are obtained from animal, plant or microbialsources and may consist of whole cells, parts of cells, or cell-free extracts of the sourceused. They may contain one or more active components as well as carriers, solvents,preservatives, antioxidants and other substances consistent with good manufacturingpractice. They may be liquid, semi-liquid, dry or in an immobilized form (immobilizedenzyme preparations are preparations which have been made insoluble in their intendedfood matrix by physical and/or chemical means). Their colour may vary from virtuallycolourless to dark brown.
ACTIVE COMPONENTS The principal activities are characterized by their systematic names and EnzymeCommission Numbers.
The activities of enzyme preparations are measured according to the reactioncatalyzed by individual enzymes and are usually expressed in activity units perweight of preparation.
SOURCE MATERIALS Animal tissues used for the preparation of enzymes must comply withmeat-inspection requirements and be handled in accordance with good hygienicpractice.
Plant material used in the production of enzyme preparations must consist ofcomponents that leave no residues harmful to health in the processed finished foodunder normal conditions of use.
Microbial sources used in the production of enzyme preparations may be nativestrains or variants of microorganisms, or be derived from native strains or variantsby the processes of selective serial culture or genetic modification. Productionstrains for food enzyme preparations must be nonpathogenic and nontoxigenic. Theevaluation of enzyme preparations from fungal sources for toxigenicity shall includea determination that they do not contain toxicologically significant amounts ofmycotoxins that are known to be synthesised by strains of the production organism’sspecies or of species related to the production microorganism. Sourcemicroorganisms must be discrete and stable strains or variants that have beentaxonomically characterised to enable them to be assigned unique identities as thesources of the enzyme preparations that are the subject of individual specifications.The reference or production strain number may be included in individualspecifications. The production strains must be maintained under conditions thatensure the absence of strain drift and, when used in the production of enzymepreparations, must be subjected to methods and culture conditions that are appliedconsistently and reproducibly from batch to batch. Such conditions must ensure theabsence of toxin production by the source organism and prevent the introduction of
- 38 -
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR ENZYMES page 2 (3)
microorganisms that could be the source of toxic materials and other undesirablesubstances. Culture media used for the growth of microbial sources must consist ofcomponents that leave no residues harmful to health in the processed finished foodunder normal conditions of use.
Enzyme preparations are produced in accordance with good food manufacturingpractice. They cause no increase in the total microbial count in the treated food, overthe level considered to be acceptable for the respective food.
CARRIERS AND OTHERADDITIVES ANDINGREDIENTS
The carriers, diluents, excipients, supports and other additives and ingredients(including processing aids) used in the production, distribution and application ofenzyme preparations must be substances that are acceptable for the relevant food usesof the enzyme preparations concerned, or substances which are insoluble in food andremoved from the food material after processing.
In the case of immobilized enzyme preparations, leakage of carriers, immobilizationagents and active enzymes must be kept within acceptable limits as specified in theindividual specifications.
In order to distinguish the proportion of the enzyme preparation derived from thesource material from that contributed by diluents and other additives and ingredients,individual specifications may require a statement of percentage Total Organic Solids(T.O.S.) which is defined as follows:
% T.O.S. = 100 - (A + W + D)
whereA = % ash, W = % water and D = % diluents and/or other additives and ingredients.
PURITY
Lead (FNP 5) Not more than 5 mg/kgDetermine using atomic absorption technique appropriate to the specified level. Theselection of the sample size and the method of sample preparation may be based onthe principles described in FNP 5, "Instrumental Methods”.
Microbiological criteria(FNP 5)
Salmonella spp.: Absent in 25 g sampleTotal coliforms: Not more than 30 per gEscherichia coli: Absent in 25 g sample
Antibiotic activity(FNP 5)
Absent in preparations from microbial sources
OTHERCONSIDERATIONS
An overall safety assessment of each enzyme preparation intended for use in food orfood processing must be performed. This assessment should include an evaluationof the safety of the production organism, the enzyme component, side activities, themanufacturing process, and the consideration of dietary exposure. Guidelines forsafety assessments of food enzyme preparations derived from microbial strains havebeen developed (Pariza and Foster, 1983; Pariza and Johnson, 2001; IFBC, 1990;Scientific Committee for Foods, 27th series). Further, several internationallyrecognized scientists and expert groups have prepared guidelines for the safetyassessment of food and food ingredients developed through biotechnology (OECD,1993: Health Canada, 1994; FAO/WHO, 1996; and Jonas et al., 1996) which areapplicable to enzyme preparations derived from recombinant sources. The followingpoints need emphasis when considering the production of enzyme preparations fromgenetically modified microorganisms:
1. The genetic material introduced into and remaining in the productionmicroorganism should be characterized and evaluated for function and safety. Itshould be demonstrated that no unexpected genetic material was introduced into thehost microorganism, e.g., by providing the sequences of the final introduced geneticmaterial and/or molecular analysis of the introduced sequences in the final
- 39 -
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR ENZYMES page 3 (3)
production strain. This would include demonstration that the genetic material doesnot contain genes coding for virulence factors, protein toxins, or enzymes that maybe involved in the synthesis of mycotoxins or any other toxic or undesirablesubstances.
2. If the production microorganism is capable of producing proteins that inactivateclinically useful antibiotics, documentation should be provided that the finishedenzyme preparation contains neither antibiotic-inactivating proteins atconcentrations that would interfere with antibiotic treatment nor DNA that is capableof transforming microorganisms, which potentially could lead to the spread ofantibiotic resistance.
3. The need to evaluate the allergenic potential of the potential gene productsencoded by the DNA inserted in the production microorganism should be considered(see FAO/WHO, 2000 and 2001).

If the time is less than 200s, select a viscometer with a capillary of smaller diameter and repeat the operation.Make a second measurement of the flow time. If two measurements agree within0.2%, use the average for calculating the kinematic viscosity. If the measurements donot agree, repeat the determination after thoroughly cleaning and drying theviscometer.
Viscosity, 100o (mm2/sec) = C x t

Place 5g of the sample in a glass-stoppered test tube that has previously been cleanedwith a chromic acid cleaning solution, rinsed with water and dried in an oven (105°,1h). Add 5 ml of sulfuric acid TS, and place in a boiling water bath. After the testtube has been in the bath for 30 sec, remove quickly, and while holding the stopper inplace, give three vigorous vertical shakes over an amplitude of about 10 cm. Repeatevery 30 sec. Do not keep the test tube out of the bath longer than 3 sec for eachshaking period. At the end of 10 min from the time when first placed in the waterbath, remove the test tube. The sample remains unchanged in colour, and the aciddoes not become darker than a very slight straw colour (Matching Fluid E , see FNP5). No black material occurs at the interface between the two layers

TESTS
Invertase activity Principle: Invertase hydrolyses the non-reducing β-D-fructofuranoside residuesof sucrose to yield invert sugar. The invert sugar released is then reacted with3.5 dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS). The colour change produced is proportional tothe amount of invert sugar released, which in turn is proportional to theinvertase activity present in the sample. The absorbance is measured at 540 nmand converted into micromoles of reducing sugar produced using a calibrationcurve. One invertase unit is the amount of enzyme which will produce 1micromole of reducing sugar (expressed as invert sugar) per minute under theconditions specified in this procedure.

Standard solution: Weigh out accurately about 20 g of the sample, 200 mg of fumaricacid and 10 mg of maleic acid, both of the highest purity available, and transfer into a500-ml volumetric flask. Add 300 ml of sodium hydroxide TS, a few drops ofphenolphthalein TS and continue adding sodium hydroxide TS to a faint pink colourthat persists for at least 30 sec. Dilute to volume with water, and mix.
Sample solution: Transfer about 4 g of the sample, accurately weighed, to a 100-mlvolumetric flask and dissolve in 25 ml of water. Add phenolphthalein TS, andneutralize with sodium hydroxide TS as directed for standard solution. Dilute tovolume with water, and mix.
Procedure: Transfer two 25-ml portions of the "Sample solution" into separate 100-ml volumetric flasks. Dilute one flask (Sample A) to volume with "Buffer solutionA". To the other flask (Sample B) add 50 ml of "Buffer solution B" and dilute tovolume with water. Rinse a polarograph cell with a portion of "Sample A", add asuitable volume of the solution to the cell, immerse it in a water bath regulated at24.5-25.5º, add 2 drops of the "Maxima suppressor", and then de-aereate by bubblingnitrogen through the solution for at least 5 min. Insert the dropping mercury electrode(negative polarity) of a suitable polarograph, adjust the current sensitivity asnecessary, and record the polarogram from -0.1 to -0.8 volt at the rate of 0.2 volt permin, using a saturated calomel electrode as the reference electrode. Transfer 25 ml ofthe "Standard solution" into a 100-ml volumetric flask, and dilute to volume with"Buffer solution A".

An ADI “not specified” was established at the26th JECFA (1982) for all modified starches listed below except for acetylatedoxidized starch for which an ADI "not specified" was established at the 57th JECFA(2001).

DEFINITION Food starches which have one or more of their original characteristics altered bytreatment in accordance with good manufacturing practice by one of the procedureslisted in Table 1. In the case of starches treated with heat in the presence of acid or withalkali, the alteration is a minor fragmentation. When the starch is bleached, the changeis essentially in the colour only. Oxidation involves the deliberate production ofcarboxyl groups. Acetylation results in substitution of hydroxyl groups with acetylesters. Treatment with reagents such as orthophosphoric acid results in partialsubstitution in the 2, 3- or 6- position of the anhydroglucose unit unless the 6-position isoccupied for branching. In cases of cross-linking, where a polyfunctional substitutingagent, such as phosphorus oxychloride, connects two chains, the structure can berepresented by: Starch-O-R-O-Starch, where R = cross-linking group and Starch refersto the linear and/or branched structure.

IDENTIFICATION TESTS
Microscopy Modified starches which have not been pregelatinized retain their granular structureand can be identified as starches by microscopic observation. Shape, size andsometimes striations are characteristics of the botanical origin. In polarized lightunder cross nicol prisms the typical polarization cross will be observed
Iodine stain Add a few drops of 0.1 N potassium tri-iodide to an aqueous suspension of the sample.These starches stain with iodine in the same way as native starches. The colour canrange from dark blue to red
Copper reduction Place about 2.5 g of the sample previously washed with water, in a boiling flask, add 10ml of dilute hydrochloric acid (3%) and 70 ml of water, mix, reflux for about threehours and cool. Add 0.5 ml of the resulting solution to 5 ml of hot alkaline cuprictartrate TS. A copious red precipitate is produced

MODIFIED STARCHES page 3 (16)
Differentiation test To differentiate between various treated starches perform the following tests:
1. Test for hypochlorite-oxidized starch (not for slightly oxidized potato starch)
Principle: Because of the carboxyl group content, hypochlorite-oxidized starch hasanionic properties. It can be dyed with positively charged dyes such as methylene blue.
Procedure: 50 mg of the sample are kept in suspension for 5-10 min in 25 ml of a 1%aqueous dye solution and stirred occasionally. After decantation of the excess solution,the starch is washed with distilled water. Microscopic inspection clearly showscolouring, if the sample is hypochlorite-oxidized starch. By this test hypochlorite-oxidized starch is distinguished from native and acid modified starch of the samebotanical origin.
2. Specific reaction of acetyl groups
Principle: Acetate is liberated upon saponification of acetylated starch. Afterconcentration the acetate is converted to acetone by heating with calcium hydroxide.The acetone thus produced stains blue with o-nitrobenzaldehyde.
Procedure: About 10 g of the sample is suspended in 25 ml water to which is added 20ml of 0.4 N NaOH. After shaking for 1 h the starch is filtered off and the filtrateevaporated in an oven at 110º. The residue is dissolved in a few drops of water andtransferred to a test tube. Add calcium hydroxide and heat the tube. If the sample isacetylated starch, acetone vapours are produced. These produce a blue colour on apaper strip soaked in a fresh saturated solution of o-nitrobenzaldehyde in 2 N NaOH.The blue colour is more distinct when the original yellow colour of the reagents isremoved with 1 drop of a 1 in 10 solution of hydrochloric acid.
3. Positive test for ester groups
The infrared spectrum of a thin film gives a typical absorption band at about 1720 cm-1which is an indication for ester groups. The limit of detection is about 0.5% acetyl,adipyl or succinyl groups in the product.
PURITY TESTS
Sulfur dioxide Scope: The method is applicable, with minor modifications, to liquid or solid sampleseven in the presence of other volatile sulfur compounds.
Principle: The sulfur dioxide is released from the sample in a boiling acid mediumand is removed by a stream of carbon dioxide. The separated gas is collected in dilutehydrogen peroxide where it is oxidized to sulfuric acid and titrated with standardalkali. Alternatively, the sulfuric acid may be determined gravimetrically as bariumsulfate.
Apparatus: “Monier-Williams" apparatus for the determination of sulfurous acid,constructed with standard-taper glass connections, can be obtained from any reliablescientific glass apparatus store. It is customary, however, to construct the apparatuswith regular laboratory glassware using stopper connections (see Figure 1).

The assembly consists of a 1000-ml two-neck round-bottom boiling flask to which agas-inlet tube, a 60-ml dropping funnel having a 2-mm bore stopcock, and a slopingAllihn reflux condenser are attached. A delivery tube connects the upper end of thecondenser to the bottom of a 250-ml conical receiving flask, which is followed by aPeligot tube.In operation, carbon dioxide is passed through the scrubber and bubbled through theheated reaction mixture, sweeping sulfur dioxide through the condenser and into thereceivers where it is absorbed quantitatively.
Preparation of solutions: Sodium carbonate solution: Dissolve approximately 15 g ofNa2CO3 or 40 g of Na2CO3·10H2O in distilled water, and dilute to 100 ml.Hydrogen peroxide, 3%: Dilute 10 ml of C.P. (Chemical Purity) neutral 30%hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with distilled water to 100 ml.
Procedure: Pass carbon dioxide from a generator or cylinder through the sodiumcarbonate scrubber solution to remove chlorine, thence into the gas-inlet tube of theboiling flask. Place 15 ml of the 3% hydrogen peroxide in the receiving flask and 5ml in the Peligot tube. Connect the apparatus and introduce into the boiling flask, bymeans of the dropping funnel, 300 ml of distilled water and 20 ml of concentratedhydrochloric acid. Boil the contents approximately 10 min in a current of carbondioxide. Weigh, to the nearest g, 100 g of the sample and disperse in approximately300 ml of recently-boiled distilled water. Transfer the slurry to the boiling flask bymeans of dropping funnel, regulating the sample addition rate and the gas flow ratethrough the apparatus to prevent drawback of hydrogen peroxide, inclusion of air, orburning of sample. Boil the mixture gently for 1 h in a slow current of carbondioxide. Stop the flow of water in the condenser just before the end of thedistillation. When the delivery tube just above the receiving flask becomes hot,remove the tube from the condenser immediately. Wash the delivery tube and thePeligot tube contents into the receiving flask, and titrate with 0.1 N sodiumhydroxide, using bromphenol blue indicator (see Note).

Procedure: If necessary, grind sample completely through a laboratory cutting mill to20 mesh or finer, taking precautions to prevent any significant change in moisture, andmix thoroughly.
Weigh accurately a sample containing not more than 0.25 milli-equivalent of carboxyl(Note 1), and transfer quantitatively to a 150-ml beaker. Add 25 ml of 0.1 Nhydrochloric acid and stir occasionally over a period of 30 min. Vacuum filter theslurry through a medium porosity fritted-glass crucible or small funnel, using a finestream of water from a wash bottle to aid quantitative transfer of the sample. Wash thesample with distilled water (300 ml usually sufficient) until the filtrate is free fromchloride determined by silver nitrate test (Note 2).
Transfer the demineralized sample quantitatively to a 600-ml beaker with the aid ofdistilled water, and slurry the sample in 300 ml of distilled water. Heat sampledispersion in a steam bath or boiling water bath (Note 3), stirring continuously until thestarch gelatinizes, and continue heating for 15 min to ensure complete gelatinization(Note 4).
Remove sample from bath and titrate while hot with standard 0.10 N sodium hydroxidesolution to a phenolphthalein end-point. The end-point may be detected

Notes and Precautions:
1. Sample size should not exceed 5.0 g for a mildly oxidized nor less than 0.15 g fora highly oxidized commercial starch.
2. Add 1 ml of 1% aqueous silver nitrate solution to 5 ml of filtrate. Turbidity orprecipitation occurs within 1 min if chloride is present.
3. Heating on a hot plate or over a Bunsen burner is not recommended. Over-heatingor scorching in amounts too small to be visible will cause sample decompositionand apparent high carboxyl results.
4. Thorough gelatinization facilitates rapid titration and accurate end-point detection.
5. A blank titration is run on a water washed sample to correct for acidic componentswhich are not introduced by oxidation or derivatization. Free fatty acidscomplexed with amylose in common corn starch are the principal contributors tothe blank titer.
6. A correction for phosphate content in potato starch (deduction) should be madeafter determining the phosphorus content of the sample being examined.

Drainbottom aqueous layer into beaker and collect upper organic layer in 500-mlErlenmeyer flask containing 20 g anhydrous sodium sulphate. Transfer aqueousportion back to separatory funnel and repeat ethyl acetate extraction twice more.Shake flasks periodically during 10 min and then filter contents through WhatmanNo. 1 paper into 1-litre round-bottom flasks. Rinse flasks and insoluble residues infilters twice with 50 ml of ethyl acetate. Under vacuum, (50 mm Hg) at temperaturenot exceeding 40o, evaporate total organic extraction and washings of each flask untilcompletely dry.
The evaporation of ethyl acetate should be effected as quickly as possible becausesome hydrolysis takes place on standing. The products of hydrolysis cause adeterioration in the resolution of adipic acid in the chromatographic separation.

− Standard preparation: Draw 25 µl of mixed propylene chlorohydrin isomerscontaining 75% of 1-chloro-2-propanol and 25% of 2-chloro- 1-propanol) into a50-µl syringe. Accurately weigh the syringe and discharge the contents into a500-ml volumetric flask partially filled with water. Reweigh the syringe, andrecord the weight of the chlorohydrins taken. Dilute to the volume with water,and mix. This solution contains about 27.5 mg of mixed chlorohydrins, or about55 µg per ml. Prepare this solution fresh on the day of use.
Sample Preparation: Transfer a blended representative 50.0 g sample into a PressureBottle, and add 125 ml of 2 N sulfuric acid. Clamp the top in place, and swirl thecontents until the sample is completely dispersed. Place the bottle in a boiling waterbath, heat for 10 min, then swirl the bottle to mix the contents, and heat in the bathfor an additional 15 min. Cool in air to room temperature, then neutralize thehydrolyzed sample to pH 7 with 25% sodium hydroxide solution, and filter throughWhatman No. 1 paper, or equivalent, in a Buchner funnel, using suction. Wash thebottle and filter paper with 25 ml of water, and combine the washings with thefiltrate. Add 30 g of anhydrous sodium sulfate, and stir with a magnetic stirring barfor 5 to 10 min, or until the sodium sulfate is completely dissolved. Transfer thesolution into a 500-ml separator equipped with a teflon plug, rinse the flask with 25ml of water, and combine the washings with the sample solution.

chromatographic tube of suitable size, then tap gently, and add 1 g of anhydroussodium sulfate to the top of the column. Wet the column with 25 ml of diethyl ether,and quantitatively transfer the concentrated extract to the column with the aid ofsmall portions of the ether. Elute with three 25-ml portions of the ether, collect all ofthe eluate, transfer it to a concentrator, and concentrate to a volume of 4 ml). Coolthe extract to room temperature, transfer it quantitatively to a 5.0-ml volumetric flaskwith the aid of small portions of diethyl ether, dilute to volume with the ether, andmix.
Control Preparations: Transfer 50.0 g portions of unmodified (underivatized) waxycorn starch into five separate pressure bottles, and add 125 ml of 2 N sulfuric acid toeach bottle.

Calculate the exactconcentration in each bottle from the weight of propylene chlorohydrins used inmaking the Standard Preparation. Clamp the tops in place, swirl until the contents ofeach bottle are completely dissolved, and proceed with the hydrolysis, neutralization,filtration, extraction, extract concentration, and final dilution as directed underSample Preparation.
Procedure: The operating conditions may be varied, depending upon the particularinstrument used, but a suitable chromatogram is obtained with the Hewlett-PackardModel 5750 using a column oven temperature of 110o, isothermal; injection porttemperature of 210o; detector temperature of 240o; and hydrogen (30 ml per min),helium (25 ml per min), or air (350 ml per min) as the carrier gas. A 1.0 mV full-scale recorder is recommended; range, attenuation, and chart speed should beselected to optimize signal characteristics. Inject 2.0 µl aliquots of each of theconcentrated extracts, prepared as directed under Control Preparation, allowingsufficient time between injections for signal peaks corresponding to the twochlorohydrin isomers to be recorded (and integrated) and for the column to bepurged. Record and sum the signal areas (integrator outputs) from the twochlorohydrin isomers for each of the controls. Using identical operating conditions,inject a 2.0-µl aliquot of the concentrated extract prepared as directed under SamplePreparation, and record and sum the signal areas (integrator outputs) from thesample.
Calculation: Prepare a calibration plot on linear coordinate graph paper by plottingthe summed signal areas for each of the controls against the calculated propylenechlorohydrin concentrations, in mg/kg, derived from the actual weight ofchlorohydrin isomers used. Using the summed signal areas corresponding to the 1-chloro-2-propanol and 2-chloro-1-propanol from the sample, determine theconcentration of mixed propylene chlorohydrins, in mg/kg, in the sample byreference to the calibration plot derived from the control samples. After gainingexperience with the procedure and demonstrating that the calibration plot derivedfrom the control samples is linear and reproducible, the number of controls can bereduced to one containing about 5 mg/kg of mixed propylene chlorohydrin isomers.The propylene chlorohydrin level in the sample can then be calculated as follows:

PROCESSED EUCHEUMA SEAWEED
Prepared at the 57th JECFA (2001) and published in FNP 52 Add 9 (2001),superseding specifications prepared at the 51st JECFA (1998), published in FNP 52Add 6 (1998)). A group ADI “not specified” for carrageenan and processedeucheuma seaweed was established at the 57th JECFA (2001).
SYNONYMS PES, PNG-carrageenan, semi-refined carrageenan; INS No. 407a
DEFINITION A substance with hydrocolloid properties obtained from either Eucheuma cottonii or E.spinosum (from the Rhodophyceae class of red seaweeds). In addition to carrageenanpolysaccharides, processed eucheuma seaweed may contain up to 15% of insolublealgal cellulose and minor amounts of other insoluble matter. Articles of commerce mayinclude sugars for standardization purposes or salts to obtain specific gelling orthickening characteristics. It is distinguished from carrageenan (INS No. 407) by itshigher content of cellulosic matter and by the fact that it is not solubilized andprecipitated during processing.
The functional component of the product obtained from E. cottonii is kappa-carrageenan (a copolymer of D-galactose-4-sulfate and 3,6-anhydro-D-galactose).From E. spinosum it is iota-carrageenan (a copolymer of D-galactose-4-sulfate and 3,6-anhydro-D-galactose-2-sulfate).
Processing consists of soaking the cleaned seaweed in alkali for a short time at elevatedtemperatures. The material is then thoroughly washed with water to remove residualsalts followed by purification, drying, and milling to a powder. Alcohols that may beused during purification are restricted to methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol.
DESCRIPTION Light tan to white coarse to fine powder
FUNCTIONAL USES Thickener, gelling agent, stabilizer, emulsifier
CHARACTERISTICS
IDENTIFICATION
Solubility (FNP 5) Forms cloudy viscous suspensions in water; insoluble in ethanolA 1 g sample disperses and partially dissolves in 100 ml of water at 80o giving acloudy opalescent solution. (The sample disperses in water more readily if firstmoistened with alcohol, glycerol, or a saturated solution of glucose or sucrose inwater).
Test for sulfate Dissolve a 100-mg sample in 20 ml of water. Heat to boiling, cool to roomtemperature, and add 3 ml of barium chloride TS and 5 ml of hydrochloric acid,dilute TS. Filter the mixture. Boil the filtrate for 5 min. A white, crystallineprecipitate appears.
Test for galactose andanhydrogalactose
Proceed as directed under Gum Constituents Identification (FNP 5), using the followingas reference standards: galactose, rhamnose, galacturonic acid, 3,6-anhydrogalactose,mannose, arabinose and xylose. Galactose and 3,6-anhydrogalactose should be present.
Identification of hydrocolloidand predominant type of co-polymer
Add 4 g of sample to 200 ml of water, and heat the mixture in a water bath at 80o, withconstant stirring until dissolved. Replace any water lost by evaporation, and allow thesolution to cool to room temperature. The solution becomes viscous and may form agel. To 50 ml of the solution or gel, add 200 mg of potassium chloride, then reheat, mixwell, and cool. A short-textured ("brittle") gel indicates a carrageenan of apredominantly kappa-type. A compliant ("elastic") gel indicates a predominantly iota-type.

PURITY TESTS
Sulfate Principle: Hydrolysed sulfate groups are precipitated as barium sulfate.
Procedure:(a) Disperse an accurately weighed 8 g sample of commercial product into 400 ml of60% w/w isopropanol/water at room temperature. Stir gently for 4 h. Filter throughash-free filter paper. Discard the filtrate. Wash the material remaining on the filterpaper with two 10-ml portions of 60% isopropanol/water. Dry the material at 105° toconstant weight.
Approximately 1 g of the dried matter is to be used for part (b). The remainder shouldbe retained for determination of Total ash and Acid-insoluble matter.
(b) Accurately weigh a 1 g sample (W1 ) obtained from part (a), Transfer the sampleto a 100-ml long-neck round-bottom flaskand add 50 ml of 0.2 N hydrochloric acid.Fit a condenser, preferably one with at least 5 condensing bulbs, to the flask andreflux for 1 h. Add 25 ml of a 10% (by volume) hydrogen peroxide solution andresume refluxing for about 5 h or until the solution becomes completely clear.Transfer the solution to a 600-ml beaker, bring to a boil, and add dropwise 10 ml of a10% barium chloride solution. Heat the reaction mixture for 2 h on a boiling waterbath. Filter the mixture through ash-free slow-filtration filter paper. Wash withboiling distilled water until the filtrate is free from chloride. Dry the filter paper andcontents in a drying oven. Gently burn and ash the paper at 800° in a tared porcelainor silica crucible until the ash is white. Cool in a desiccator.
Weigh the crucible containing the ash. Calculate the percentage sulfate from theweight in g (W2) of the ash (barium sulfate) using the formula: (W2/W1) x 100 x0.4116.
Total ash Accurately weigh 2 g of the dried sample (W1) obtained from part (a) under theprocedure for Sulfate determination. Transfer to a previously ignited, tared, silica orplatinum crucible. Heat the sample with a suitable infrared lamp, increasing theintensity gradually, until the sample is completely charred; continue heating for anadditional 30 min. Transfer the crucible with charred sample into a muffle furnaceand ignite at about 550o for 1 h. Cool in a desiccator and weigh. Repeat the ignitionin the muffle furnace until a constant weight (W2) is obtained. If a carbon-free ash isnot obtained after the first ignition, moisten the charred spot with a 1 in 10 solution ofammonium nitrate and dry under an infrared lamp. Repeat the ignition step. Calculatethe percentage of total ash of the sample: (W2/W1) x 100.
Retain the ash for the Acid-insoluble ash test.
Viscosity Transfer 7.5 g of the sample into a tared, 600-ml tall-form (Berzelius) beaker, anddisperse with agitation for 10 to 20 min in 450 ml of deionized water. Add sufficientwater to bring the final weight to 500 g and heat in a water bath, with continuousagitation, until a temperature of 80o is reached (20-30 min). Add 7.5 g ofdiatomaceous earth or perlite filter aid.
Stir for two minutes. Add water to adjust for loss by evaporation. Filter the solutionthrough a Büchner funnel (pre-heated with hot water to 80o) equipped with a coarse
- 84 -
PROCESSED EUCHEUMA SEAWEED page 4 (7)
filter paper. Place the filter assembly in a vacuum receiver bottle.
Filter 200 ml of solution. Cool to 76-77o, and heat in a constant temperature bath at75o. Pre-heat the bob and guard of a Brookfield LVF viscometer to approximately75o in water. Dry the bob and guard and attach them to the viscometer, which shouldbe equipped with a No. 1 spindle (19 mm in diameter, approximately 65 mm inlength) and capable of rotating at 30 rpm. Adjust the height of the bob in the samplesolution, start the viscometer rotating at 30 rpm and, after six complete revolutions ofthe viscometer, take the viscometer reading on the 0-100 scale.
If the viscosity is very low, increased precision may be obtained by using theBrookfield UL (ultra low) adapter or equivalent.
Record the results in centipoises, obtained by multiplying the reading on the scale bythe factor given by the Brookfield manufacturer.

Mixed Standard Solution: Pipet 4 ml each of the Standard Alcohol Solution and ofthe TBA Standard Solution into a 125-ml graduated Erlenmeyer flask. Dilute to about100 ml with water and mix. This solution contains approximately 40 µg of eachalcohol per ml.
Sample Preparation: Disperse 1 ml of a suitable antifoam emulsion, such as Dow-Corning G-10 or equivalent, in 200 ml of water contained in a 1000-ml 24/40 round-bottom distilling flask. Add about 5 g of the sample, accurately weighed, and shakefor 1 h on a wrist-action mechanical shaker. Connect the flask to a fractionatingcolumn, and distil about 100 ml, adjusting the heat so that foam does not enter thecolumn. Add 4.0 ml of TBA Standard Solution to the distillate to obtain the SamplePreparation.
Procedure: Inject 5 µl of the Mixed Standard Solution into a suitable gaschromatograph equipped with a flame-ionization detector and a 1.8-m x 3.2-mmstainless steel column packed with 80-100-mesh Porapak QS or equivalent. Thecarrier is helium flowing at 80 ml per min. The injection port temperature is 200o; thecolumn temperature is 165o; and the detector temperature is 200o. The retention timeof isopropanol is about 2 min, and that of tertiary-butyl alcohol about 3 min.
Measure the areas of the methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and TBA peaks. Calculateeach response factor, fi, by the formula Ai/ATBA, in which Ai is the area of eachalcohol peak (i=methanol, ethanol, or isopropanol).
Similarly, inject 5 µl of the Sample Preparation, and measure the peak areas,recording the area of each alcohol peak as Ai, and that of the tertiary-butyl alcoholpeak as ATBA. Calculate the concentration of each alcohol (mg/kg) in the sampletaken, by the formula:

Polyphenols and tannins are also major components.Some sugars and calcium oxalate will also be present.Quillaic acid (CAS no. 631-01-6) is the aglycone common to all the saponins in QE.Different oligosaccharide substituents are substituted at C-3 and C-28 of the quillaicacid moiety. The first sugar residue of the C-28 oligosaccharide may be acylated. Thesugar residues constituting the oligosaccharides include glucose, glucuronic acid,galactose, fucose, arabinose, rhamnose, and xylose.Freshly prepared unpurified QE contain 190-200 g of QS/kg of solids, whereas freshlyprepared semi-purified QE generally contain 750-800 g of QS/kg of solids. Bothunpurified and semi-purified QE are available commercially as aqueous extracts or asspray-dried powders that may contain carriers such as lactose or maltodextrin. Theliquid extracts are usually preserved with sodium benzoate or ethanol; sulfur dioxidehas also been used. The principal saponin component of commercial unpurified QE isdesignated as QS-18. (“Highly purified” QE, which are not specified by thismonograph, are typically used as adjuvants in human and animal vaccines)

SYNONYMS Wood smoke flavour, Smoke condensate
DEFINITION Complex mixtures of components of smoke obtained by subjecting untreatedhardwoods to (a) pyrolysis in a limited and controlled amount of air, (b) dry distillationbetween 200o and 800o, or (c) superheated steam between 300o and 500o. Sourcematerials must not contain detectable amounts of pesticides, wood preservatives, orother extraneous matter that may result in hazardous constituents in the wood smoke.The major flavouring principles of Smoke Flavourings are carboxylic acids,compounds with carbonyl groups and phenolic compounds.
During manufacture, wood smoke is subjected to an aqueous extraction system or todistillation, condensation, and separation for collection of the aqueous phase, whichserves to remove hazardous constituents, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.The aqueous smoke fraction containing water-soluble constituents may be diluted withwater or be extracted with an edible vegetable oil to produce a smoke flavouring withhigher levels of non-polar constituents that may be further extracted using food-gradesubstances, such as propylene glycol or aqueous solutions of polysorbates.
Commercial products may also contain additives such as emulsifiers, antifoamingagents, and gums. Smoke flavourings may also be prepared in dry form with theaddition of carriers, such as yeasts, flours, salt, phosphates, carbohydrates, and anti-caking agents.
These specifications apply only to the water-soluble distillates of condensed woodsmoke, their aqueous/vegetable oil or polysorbate extracts and concentrates of these.These specifications do not apply to products derived from the water-insoluble tars, tocommercial products( as described in the previous paragraph), nor to pyroligneous acid,a by-product of the manufacture of charcoal by carbonation of wood in the absence ofair.

Benzo(a)pyrene Caution: Benzo(a)pyrene and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are knowncarcinogens. The analyst must exercise appropriate care in handling them.
Principle: Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) is one of several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) that may occur in liquid smoke flavourings. Its quantitation is used as anindicator for levels of PAHs in liquid smoke flavourings. BaP, as well as other PAHsare isolated from the sample by digestion and liquid extraction, and purified by solidphase extraction. Quantitation is accomplished by high performance liquidchromatography with fluorescence detection (FNP 5).

− PAH working standards: prepare at least 4 working standards in 50%acetonitrile/50% water (in the range of 0.5 to 10 µg/l) from the commercialPAH Standard Solution.
Procedure: Caution: Due to the toxicity of solvents used in this method, the use ofgloves is recommended.
Sample preparation: Weigh 10 g of liquid smoke flavouring into a 250 ml round-bottom flask. Add 20 ml ethanol, 2 ml 0.8 g/ml aqueous KOH solution, and a fewboiling chips. Assemble the digestion apparatus, set the variable transformer to 50%output, and reflux the sample for 2 hr. Let cool about 15 min. Transfer the digest toa 250 ml separatory funnel; rinse the flask with 20 ml water, 10 ml ethanol, and 15ml hexane and add to the separatory funnel; extract by shaking gently for 2 min.Drain the lower layer into a second separatory funnel and repeat the extraction with15 ml hexane. Discard the lower layer. To each retained hexane layer add about 3ml water and swirl. Discard the water washes. Pass each hexane layer through aBuchner funnel containing 25 g sodium sulfate (pre-washed with 15 ml hexane) intoa 100 ml pear-shaped flask.

(Ifthere is a delay between column conditioning and charging the column with thesample, close the stopcock, leaving about 1 mm hexane above the head of thecolumn. Just before loading the sample extract onto the column, open the stopcockto drain the excess solvent; then, close the stopcock.) Transfer the concentratedsample extract from the pear-shaped flask to the column, using two 1 ml portions ofhexane to rinse. Open the stopcock and allow the sample to pass onto the columnusing gravity flow only, discarding the eluate. Elute the sample (by gravity) with 5ml of 25% methylene chloride/75% hexane, discarding the first milliliter; collect theeluate in a 50 ml pear-shaped flask. Use pressure from a syringe to force residualsolvent through the column. Add 4 ml acetonitrile and concentrate the sample extractto < 1 ml on a rotary evaporator.
Attach a stopcock to the outlet of the C18 column and condition it with 15 ml ofmethylene chloride, followed by 5 ml acetonitrile. Close the stopcock. Transfer theconcentrated sample extract to the column using two 0.5-ml portions of acetonitrile torinse the flask. Open the stopcock to charge the column with the sample; discard theeluate. Elute the sample with 5 ml of 10% methylene chloride/90% acetonitrile,collecting the eluate in a 50 ml pear-shaped flask. Use a syringe to force residualsolvent through the column. Concentrate the eluate to < 1 ml on a rotary evaporator.Transfer to a 5 ml volumetric flask, using three 0.5 ml portions of acetonitrile torinse. Add 2.5 ml water, and dilute to 5.0 ml with acetonitrile. Filter through a PTFEsyringe filter.
High Performance Liquid Chromatography: Analyse the filtered sample extract andthe PAH working standards for BaP.Chromatographic conditions:− Solvent flow rate: 1.0 ml/min− Solvent program: 3 min hold at 50% acetonitrile/50% water; linear gradient to
100% acetonitrile in 15 min; and 8 min hold at 100% acetonitrile− fluorescence detector: excitation wavelength - 290 nm; emission wavelength -
410 nm− Injection volume: 100 µl
The retention time of BaP is approximately 24 min. Using the peak heights for BaPin the standards, prepare a calibration curve of peak height vs. concentration (µg/l),and determine the slope (S) and the intercept (I). Calculate the concentration of BaP:
BaP (µg/kg) = V(H-I)/(S x W)where
H = the peak height of BaP in the sample extractW = the weight of the sample (10 g)V = the volume of the filtered sample extract (5.0 ml).
METHOD OF ASSAYAcidity Accurately weigh about 1 ml of sample in a 250 ml beaker. Dilute with about 100 ml
of water. Titrate with 0.1 N sodium hydroxide solution to an equivalence point ofpH 8.15, as determined using a pH meter. Calculate acidity as percent by weight ofacetic acid using the factor: 1 ml of 0.1 N sodium hydroxide is equivalent to 60.05mg acetic acid.
Carbonyls Principle: The total carbonyls of Smoke Flavourings are determinedspectrophotometrically by reaction with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH) andexpressed as heptaldehyde. The carbonyls of liquid smoke are converted tohydrazone derivatives by reaction with 2,4-DNPH in acid medium at 60o. A redpigment is formed on adjusting to alkaline pH and the absorbance is read at 430 nm.
Apparatus: Spectrophotometer with 1 cm cuvettes, water bath at 60±5o, 25 ml

Section B: Specifications of certain flavourings
At its 44th meeting JECFA considered a new approach to the safety evaluation of flavouring agents. Thisapproach incorporates a series of criteria whose use enables the evaluation of a large number of these agents ina consistent and timely manner. At the current session of the Committee specifications of identity and puritywere prepared or revised for 317 flavouring agents*.
Information on specifications is given under the following headings, most of which are self-explanatory:
Name; Chemical name (Systematic name); Synonyms; Flavour and Extract Manufacturers' Association ofthe United States (FEMA) No; Council of Europe (COE) No; Chemical Abstract Service Registry (CAS) No;Molecular weight; Chemical formula; Physical form/odour; Solubility; Solubility in ethanol, Boiling point(information only); Identification test (ID), IR infrared spectrum; Assay min% (see page 199-201: Gaschromatographic (GC) assay of flavouring agents); Acid value max; Refractive index (at 20º, if not otherwisestated); Specific gravity (at 25º, if not otherwise stated); Other requirements, e.g. additional tests; the JECFASession at which the specifications were prepared / the status of the specification. R means "specificationsrevised", S means "existing specifications maintained, S,T means "existing tentative specificationsmaintained”, (further information ), N means "new specifications", and N,T means "new tentativespecifications, (further information required).
Chemical names of the new specifications are systematic names to be in harmony with the substance namesused in the WHO Technical Report Series. When more than one systematic name exists, the systematic namewhich is listed is the closest to the name in the first column.
The last column indicates the data (information) required for the tentative specifications. Abbreviations for"data required" are as follows:
A=assay minimum, A(e)=equivalence factor for assay*, A(m)=details of assay method, BP=boiling point,ID=identity test, Low assay=quantitative information on by-products, RI=refractive index, SG=specificgravity. *A(e) is an equivalence factor to convert an assay obtained by aldehyde / ketone determination, esterdetermination, total alcohols de†termination, or titration determination to the % value which would beobtained if GC had been used for the assay (FNP 5).
The infrared and other spectra, used for identification and comparison purposes, are provided from page 157onwards in two sections (page 157: IR spectra; page 184: other spectra).
The table of contents for the flavours sections has been replaced by a comprehensive index listing all names,chemical names, and synonyms (page 197).

Section C: Principles governing the establishment and revision of specifications
Inclusion of raw materials and manufacturing methods in specifications
With increasing volumes of food additives in international trade, it is becoming increasingly important thatspecifications include raw materials and methods of manufacture in order to provide a full account of theproduct that was evaluated. Without this information, a product could be produced from different materialsby different methods; consequently, impurities might have arisen that were not considered during thetoxicological evaluation of the substance.Principles for the safety assessment of food additives and contaminants in food states that ‘To establish thechemical identities of additives, it is necessary to know the nature of the raw materials, methods ofmanufacture and impurities. This information is used to assess the completeness of analytical data on thecomposition of additives, and to assess the similarity of materials used in biological testing with thosecommercially produced.’Therefore, the specifications other than those for flavouring agents will include brief details of raw materialsand methods of manufacture, excluding proprietary details. The level of detail should be similar to thatalready used in many specifications published by the committee for additives made by fermentation or fromplant materials.
Revision of the Guide to specifications
The Committee strongly reiterated its recommendation at the fifty-fifth meeting for revision of the Guide tospecifications. This revision is urgent so that significant developments in methods of analysis can beincluded.‡
Modified starches
The Committee recommended that the present specification monograph that covers 16 modified starchesshould be divided into smaller monographs because the present document is very long and changes to onespecification requires revision of the entire monograph.
General Specifications and Recommendations for Enzyme Preparations
The Committee has, on many occasions, addressed issues related to specifications for enzyme preparationsused in food processing. The General Specifications in use today for enzymes were first elaborated by theCommittee at its twenty-sixth meeting. Several revisions have been made, including 1) an addendum toaddress issues related to enzymes from genetically modified microorganisms; 2) addition of an appendix todescribe the method for determining antibiotic activity (FNP 19); 3) an amendment to address microbialstrain numbers in the specifications for enzyme preparations; and 4) addition of the general requirement thatsource microorganisms be non-pathogenic and non-toxigenic.
At its fifty-fifth meeting, the Committee requested that the General Specifications for enzymes be reviewedand revised. Special consideration was to be given to updating the specifications in light of recenttechnological advances and to ensure consistency and coherence.
The revised General Specifications require that all new enzyme preparations undergo a general safetyassessment. Many of the requirements previously outlined for enzyme preparations from geneticallymodified microorganisms are appropriate for all preparations, regardless of source, and the presentCommittee revised the General Specifications to reflect those requirements. For enzymes from geneticallymodified sources, focus is now placed on the final microbial strain used as the source organism and thegenetic material introduced into and remaining in the final microbial production strain.
‡ A corresponding project by the FAO Joint Secretariat is currently under preparation. Further information will beavailable at at FAO's JECFA web-site (http://www.fao.org/es/ESN/jecfa/).

Pre-print edition for the 34th session of CCFAC
At its fifty-fifth meeting, the Committee noted that the list of mycotoxins contained in the existing GeneralSpecifications was not relevant to all food enzyme preparations from fungal sources. It further agreed that anattempt to list all known mycotoxins of potential concern was impractical and unwarranted. At its presentmeeting, the Committee agreed that enzyme preparations derived from fungal sources be evaluated for thosemycotoxins that are known to be produced by strains of the species used in the production of the enzymepreparation or related species.
With regard to limits on heavy metals, the Committee agreed that the specification for lead contained in theexisting General Specifications should be lowered from 10 mg/kg to 5 mg/kg. The Committee recognizedthat arsenic is not a concern in enzyme preparations, and the limit for this metal was deleted. Moreover, asthere is no traceable source of cadmium or mercury in enzyme preparations, the Committee saw no need toestablish limits for those metals. Such changes are consistent with the Committee’s current policy (Note byjlh: report of the fifty-fifth meeting or specifications should be referenced here? Is a reference necessary?) onheavy metals.
In considering microbiological contamination of enzyme preparations, the Committee agreed that theexisting microbiological criteria (for Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, and total coliforms) and therequirement that use of preparations not increase the total microbial count in treated food over the levelconsidered to be acceptable for the respective food are sufficient to ensure microbial safety and were thusretained. The Committee noted that the specification for a total viable count of 5 x 104/g contained in theexisting General Specifications is arbitrary and is not an indication of the safety of an enzyme preparation.Therefore, it was eliminated.
In considering allergenic potential, the Committee emphasized that when the source organism of an enzymepreparation is a genetically modified microorganism the need for an evaluation for allergenic potential of thegene products encoded by the inserted DNA should be assessed. The Committee agreed that when the DNAsequence of an enzyme from a genetically modified production microorganism is comparable to that codingfor an enzyme already known to have a history of safe use in food, there would be no need to assess theallergic potential of that enzyme further.
Finally, the Committee recognized that the revised Specifications include many criteria for safety evaluationthat would be more appropriately listed elsewhere. The Committee strongly recommended that Principles forthe safety assessment of food additives and contaminants in food be revised to include the safety assessmentof enzymes intended for use in food and subsequent removal of such guidelines from the GeneralSpecifications
The Committee recognized that the revised General Specifications and Recommendations for EnzymePreparations Used in Food Processing contain many safety evaluation criteria that are more appropriate forelaboration elsewhere. The Committee recommended that the update and consolidation of the principles andmethods for the assessment of chemicals in food includes the safety assessment of enzymes intended for usein food and a subsequent removal of these guidelines from the General Specifications.
Revision of metals limits for food additives
At its fifty-fifth meeting, the Committee began its implementation of a systematic five-year programme toreplace the outdated test for heavy metals (as lead) in all existing food additive specifications withappropriate limits for individual metals of concern. Proposed lead and arsenic limits for 43 emulsifiers wereestablished. As no alternative proposals were received by the Secretariat prior to the deadline for submissionof data for the present meeting, the new published limits were adopted, replacing those published in FNP 52and its addenda 1 to 7.
The second group of substances, considered at the present meeting, included 10 anticaking agents, 17 flavourenhancers, 10 sweetening agents, and 13 thickening agents. In response to the call for data, proposed limitsand supporting data were received for sodium ferrocyanide. Comments and proposals were received only forcalcium silicate, magnesium silicates, silicon dioxide, sodium aluminiumsilicate, monosodium glutamate,
- 192 -
sorbitol, lactitol, xylitol, ammonium alginate, tara gum, methylcellulose, ethylcellulose,methylethylcellulose, powdered cellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. Allcomments, proposals, and supporting data were taken into account. Comments on the Committee’s newproposed limits are invited. Where higher limits are requested, analytical data in support of such limits mustbe provided. If alternative values and supporting data are not received by the deadline for submission of datafor the fifty-ninth meeting, the proposed metal limits will supersede the existing metals limits, replacingthose published in FNP 52 and its addenda 1 to 8.
In summary, the proposed changes to the current limits were as follows:• Limits for arsenic were deleted except for ferrocyanides of calcium, potassium and sodium, for
which a limit of 3 mg/kg was proposed.• Proposed limits for lead for thickening agents and magnesium oxide were 2 mg/kg, for flavour
enhancers and sweetening agents 1 mg/kg, for phosphates 4 mg/kg, and for silicate anticaking 5mg/kg.
• No limits were proposed for cadmium or mercury, as there were no concerns for their presence inany of the substances under review.
• Limits for heavy metals (as lead) were deleted.
The Committee emphasized that, following replacement of the Limit Test for Heavy Metals (as lead) byindividual elements, the absence of a particular metal from a specification means that the level ofcontamination is so low as to be of no concern.
The Committee recommended continuation of its activity to update limits for heavy metals in food additivesand concluded that acidity regulators and colours should be reviewed at its next meeting on food additivesand contaminants.

Flavouring agents with minimum assay values less than 95%
At its fifty-third meeting, the Committee announced its intention to re-examine specifications for flavouringagents where the minimum assay values were less than 95%. Specifications for these substances were
- 194 -
designated tentative. At the present meeting, the Committee considered information on all 62 remainingsubstances in this category concerning the secondary components that may be present in commercialproducts.
This information was sufficient for the Committee to revise the specifications for 27 flavouring agents(including two flavouring agents whose specifications were also revised for other reasons) and to remove thetentative designations. This was done by following the general principle that no more than 5% of anycommercial product should remain undefined after taking account of the flavouring agent and namedsecondary components.
The Committee will review this group of flavouring agents at a future meeting to confirm whether all thenamed secondary components are covered by existing safety evaluations. At the same time, the Committeewill determine the need for further information to complete those specifications that remain tentative.

Prior to the present meeting, 142 flavouring agents had been evaluated for safety at the forty-sixth, forty-ninth, fifty-first, fifty-third, and fifty-fifth meetings for which further information was required in ordercomplete the specifications. At the present meeting the Committee reviewed new data on 95 of theseflavouring agents and revised specifications were established to take account of the new information. For83, the tentative designation was removed; for the remaining 12, the revised specifications were classified astentative.
For the remaining 47 substances, no further data were provided that would permit the elaboration ofsatisfactory specifications, according to the criteria identified by the Committee at its fifty-third meeting. Theflavour industry has indicated that many of these substances are highly noxious sulfur-containing compoundsthat are not routinely handled in the pure form. It is therefore impracticable to provide information such asboiling point or specific gravity. In these cases, the Committee concluded that the additional criteriaidentified at its fifty-third meeting for the establishment of satisfactory specifications should not apply andthat only the basic data relating to chemical identity, minimum assay and identity test were required.
The Committee reiterated that the evaluation of flavourings must rely on adequate information on theidentity and composition of products in commercial use. In future, specifications for flavouring agents willbe withdrawn within two years of publication of the tentative specifications if the necessary information isnot provided.
Tentative specifications for food additives (uses other than as flavouring agents)
β-Carotene from Blakeslea trispora: Information is required on the method of analysis for residual solvents(ethyl acetate and isobutyl acetate). This information is required for evaluation in 2003.
Curcumin: The results of a reproductive toxicity study on a substance complying with the specifications forcurcumin, known to be in progress, is required for evaluation in 2003.
Diacetyltartaric and fatty acid esters of glycerol: The following information relating to the two-year toxicitystudy in rats is required for evaluation in 2003:
• To assess whether some of the adverse effects that were observed were treatment-related, the groupstreated with diacetyltartaric and fatty acid esters of glycerol should be compared with both untreatedand monoglyceride-treated controls and the control groups should be compared with one another.
• Additional information on the incidence of mycocardial fibrosis and adrenal medullary hyperplasiain animals at the low and intermediate doses should be provided.
Monomagnesium phosphate, trisodium diphosphate: Information is required on the loss on drying, loss onignition, test method for loss on ignition and assay method for the hydrates. This information is required forevaluation in 2003.

Pre-print edition for the 34th session of CCFAC
Natamycin: Information is required on the level and determination of water content, lead limit, specificrotation, assay value and method of assay for the commercial product. Comments on other aspects of themonograph are invited. This information is required for evaluation in 2003.
Quillaia extracts: The existing specifications for quillaia extracts were revised in order to clarify thedifferences between unpurified and semi-purified extracts Additional information on composition (minimumand maximum percentages of saponins unpurified and semi-purified extracts) is necessary, so thespecifications were designated as tentative. Once the requested information has been received, theCommittee will consider whether separate specifications for unpurified and semi-purified extracts arerequired. This information is required for evaluation in 2003. The ADI was made temporary pendingclarification of the specifications. The temporary ADI is applicable only to the unpurified extract.
