Descripción
This report represents the conclusions of a Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee convened to evaluate the safety of various food additives, including flavouring agents, to identify safety concerns and to prepare specifications for the identity and purity of the food additives. The report provides a summary of the Committee’s evaluations of technical, toxicological and dietary exposure data for the food additive titanium dioxide (TiO2 or INS 171), including the identification of TiO2 test materials that were considered representative of INS 171.Summaries are also provided of the safety evaluations of three groups of flavouring agents: aliphatic primary alcohols, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, acetals and esters containing additional oxygenated functional groups; linear and branched-chain aliphatic, unsaturated and unconjugated alcohols, aldehydes, acids and related esters; and saturated aliphatic acyclic linear primary alcohols, aldehydes and acids. New specifications were prepared for 4, 12 and 5 flavouring agents from these groups, respectively.
