(b) They consist of one or more of the following, used alone or in combination with flavoring substances and adjuvants generally recognized as safe in food, prior-sanctioned for such use, or regulated by an appropriate
The following nonagricultural substances may be used as ingredients in or on processed products labeled as "organic" or "made with organic (specified ingredients or food group(s))" only in accordance with any restrictions specified in this section. (a)Nonsynthetics allowed. (1) Acids (Citric-produced by microbial fermentation of carbohydrate substances; and Lactic). (2) Agar-agar. (3) Animal enzymes-(Rennet-animals derived; Catalase-bovine liver; Animal lipase; Pancreatin; Pepsin; and Trypsin). (4)
(a)Product. Tocopherols. (b)Conditions of use. This substance is generally recognized as safe when used in accordance with good manufacturing practice. 21 C.F.R. § 182.3890
(a) The [ALPHA]-tocopherols that are the subject of this GRAS affirmation regulation are limited to the following: (1)d -[ALPHA]-Tocopherol (CAS Reg. No. 59-02-9) is the chemical [2R,4'R,8'R]-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2-(4',8',12'-trimethyl-tridecyl)-6-chromanol. It occurs commercially as a concentrate and is a red, nearly odorless, viscous oil. It is obtained by vacuum steam distillation of edible vegetable oil products. (2)dl -[ALPHA]-Tocopherol (CAS Reg. No. 10191-41-0) is a mixture of stereoisomers
Synthetic glycerin produced by the hydrogenolysis of carbohydrates may be safely used in food, subject to the provisions of this section: (a) It shall contain not in excess of 0.2 percent by weight of a mixture of butanetriols. (b) It is used or intended for use in an amount not to exceed that reasonably required to produce its intended effect. 21 C.F.R. §172.866
(a) Pyridoxine hydrochloride (C8H11NO3·HCl, CAS Reg. No. 58-56-0) is the chemical 3-hydroxy-4,5-dihydroxymethy-2-methylpyridine hydrochloride that is prepared by chemical synthesis. (b) The ingredient meets the specifications of the Food Chemicals Codex, 3d Ed. (1981), p. 260, which is incorporated by reference. Copies are available from the National Academy Press, 2101 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20418, or available for inspection at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)
(a) Calcium pantothenate ((C9H16NO5)2Ca, CAS Reg. No. of the D-isomer, 137-08-6) is a salt of pantothenic acid, one of the vitamins of the B complex. Only the D-isomer of pantothenic acid has vitamin activity, although both the D-isomer and the DL-racemic mixture of calcium pantothenate are used in food. Commercial calcium pantothenate is prepared synthetically from isobutyraldehyde and formaldehyde via 1,1-dimethyl-2-hydroxy-propionaldehyde and pantolactone. (b) Calcium pantothenate meets the specifications
