Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives

TARTARIC, ACETIC AND FATTY ACID ESTERS OF GLYCEROL, MIXED
See: DIACETYLTARTARIC AND FATTY ACID ESTERS OF GLYCEROL
INS: 472f
Synonyms: MIXED ACETIC AND TARTARIC ACID ESTERS OF MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES OF FATTY ACIDS
Functional class: EMULSIFIER
Latest evaluation: 2001
ADI: WITHDRAWN
Comments: The ADI of "not limited" was withdrawn at the fifty-seventh meeting (2001) because the specifications for mixed tartaric, acetic and fatty acid esters of glycerol were combined with those of diacetyltartaric and fatty acid esters of glycerol under the latter name at the fifty-first meeting (1998).
Report: TRS 909-JECFA 57/13
Specifications: WITHDRAWN (1998)
Previous status: 1998, TRS 891-JECFA 51/135, COMPENDIUM ADDENDUM 6/FNP 52 Add.6/49. R. ( At the fifty-first meeting (1998), the 1997 specifications for this substance were withdrawn and merged with the existing 1997 specifications for DIACETYLTARTARIC AND FATTY ACID ESTERS OF GLYCEROL)

1973, NMRS 53/TRS 539-JECFA 17/21, FAS 5/NMRS 53A-JECFA 17/236. NOT LIMITED (AS THE SUM OF TOTAL GLYCEROL ESTERS OF FATTY ACIDS AND ACETIC, CITRIC, LACTIC AND TARTARIC ACIDS, PROVIDED THAT THE TOTAL FOOD ADDITIVE INTAKE OF TARTARIC ACID DOES NOT EXCEED 30 mg/kg bw PER DAY). NL
1966, NMRS 43/TRS 373-JECFA 10/26. 0-100 (THE ZONE OF ACCEPTABILITY FOR THE TOTAL FOOD ADDITIVE INTAKE OF TARTARIC ACID IS 0-6 mg/kg, UNCONDITIONAL, AND 6-20 mg/kg, CONDITIONAL). FU
