| | 837. Sucrose esters of fatty acids and sucroglycerides (WHO Food Additives Series 35) |
 | | EXPLANATION Sucrose esters of fatty acids and sucroglycerides were previously considered by the Committee at its thirteenth, seventeenth, twentieth, twenty-fourth, thirty-fifth and thirty-ninth meetings (Annex 1, references 19, 32, 41, 53, 88 and 101). |
 | | Because sucrose esters are hydrolysed in the gut to normal dietary constituents prior to absorption, the Committee used a safety factor of 50 in deriving the ADI. |
 | | sucrose esters of stearic and palmitic acids, with 57% monoester, 28 diester, 10% triester and 1% tetra and higher esters, and a ratio of 70:30, stearate to palmitate. |
