Morpholine: a Glazing Agent for Fruits and Vegetables Coating/Waxing (IJSTE/ Volume 2 / Issue 11 / 119) with Glazing Agent
IJSTE - International Journal of Science Technology & Engineering | Volume 2 | Issue 11 | May 2016 ISSN (online): 2349-784X Morpholine: A Glazing Agent for Fruits and Vegetables Coating/Waxing Rupak Kumar Suman Kapur Research Scholar Senior Professor Department of Biological Sciences Department of Biological Sciences BITS-Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, Hyderabad-500078, India BITS-Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, Hyderabad-500078, India Abstract The saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” probably gives us the impression that apples are the healthiest fruits. But besides the fact that it rhymes, does it really have no adverse effects if we eat a bright red wax coated apple every day? Morpholine (C4H9NO) is a chemical used as emulsifier in the preparation of wax coatings for fruits and vegetables to help them last longer and remain fresh even during prolonged transit. Morpholine oleate is added to wax as it enables spreading wax in water based liquid for use as a protective coating to prevent contamination by pests and diseases. Morpholine alone does not appear to pose a health concern because morpholine itself is neither a carcinogen nor a teratogen and does not cause chronic toxicity. However, it is a precursor for potent carcinogenic nitrosamines. Keywords: Carcinogen, Emulsifier, Morpholine, Teratogen, Wax Coating ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I. INTRODUCTION The practice of fruit/vegetable coating was accepted long before their associated chemistries were understood, and are still practiced till date. The first wax coating was applied to citrus fruits in 12th-13th centuries in China. Today, it has expanded rapidly for retaining quality of a wide variety of foods/vegetables, with total annual revenue exceeding $100 million [1]. -
Rosin - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1
Rosin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 Rosin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rosin , also called colophony or Greek pitch (Pix græca ), is a solid form of resin obtained from pines and some other plants, mostly conifers, produced by heating fresh liquid resin to vaporize the volatile liquid terpene components. It is semi-transparent and varies in color from yellow to black. At room temperature rosin is brittle, but it melts at stove-top temperatures. It chiefly consists of various resin acids, especially abietic acid.[1] The term "colophony" comes from colophonia resina or "resin from the pine trees of Colophon," an ancient Ionic city. A cake of rosin, made for use by violinists, used here for Contents soldering 1 Uses 1.1 Pharmaceutical 2 Production 3 Properties 4 Sources 5 See also 6 Sources 7 Notes 8 External links Uses Rosin is an ingredient in printing inks, photocopying and laser printing paper, varnishes, adhesives (glues), soap, paper sizing, soda, soldering fluxes, and sealing wax. Rosin can be used as a glazing agent in medicines and chewing gum. It is denoted by E number E915. A related glycerol ester (E445) can be used as an emulsifier in soft drinks. In pharmaceuticals, rosin forms an ingredient in several plasters and ointments. In industry, rosin is a flux used in soldering. The lead-tin solder commonly used in electronics has about 1% rosin as a flux core helping the molten metal flow and making a better connection by reducing the refractory solid oxide layer formed at the surface back to metal. It is frequently seen as the burnt or clear residue around new soldering. -

Supporting document 1 Risk and Technical Assessment Report – Application A1103 Citric & Lactic Acids as Food Additives in Beer and related products Executive Summary FSANZ received an Application from DB Breweries Limited seeking to amend Standard 1.3.1 – Food Additives of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) to permit the addition of citric and lactic acids as food additives in beer. Within Standard 1.3.1, this permission would apply to the food category 14.2.1 - Beer and related products. Citric and lactic acids are currently permitted as food additives in a large range of foods at levels consistent with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). For the proposed use of citric and lactic acids in beer and related products, this Application also requests GMP permission. The food technology assessment concluded that certain types of beers exhibit improved flavour profiles due to pH reduction achieved by the addition of citric and lactic acids. Maximum levels of addition are expected to be approximately 3 g per litre of beer (total of citric acid plus lactic acid). Citric acid and lactic acid are substances of very low toxicity. Citric acid occurs in many foods, with levels of approximately 10 and 50 g/L in orange juice and lemon juice, respectively. Lactic acid levels are highest in foods produced by fermentation, with levels of approximately 10 g/kg reported for cheese and yogurt. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) concluded that establishment of an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) expressed in numerical terms was unnecessary for either substance. -
Chemical and Technical Assessment 65Th JECFA
Chemical and Technical Assessment 65th JECFA BEESWAX Chemical and Technical Assessment (CTA) First draft prepared by Paul M. Kuznesof, Ph.D.∗ Reviewed by D. Brian Whitehouse, Ph.D. 1 Summary Beeswax (INS No. 901) consists primarily of a mixture of esters of fatty acids and fatty alcohols, paraffinic hydrocarbons, and free fatty acids; minor amounts of free fatty alcohols are also present. Two types of beeswax are marketed: yellow beeswax (C.A.S No. 8006-40-4) and white beeswax (C.A.S. No. 8012-89-3). Yellow beeswax is a yellow or light-brown solid that is somewhat brittle when cold and presents a characteristic odour of honey. White beeswax is a white or yellowish white solid (thin layers are translucent) having a characteristic, but faint, odour of honey. Beeswax is obtained from the honeycombs of bees (Apis mellifera L., Fam. Apidae) after removal of the honey. The combs are melted with hot water, steam, or solar heat. After removing the insoluble impurities, the liquid wax is cast into cakes for further purification to obtain food-grade yellow beeswax. Bleaching the latter with e.g. hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric acid or sunlight, yields white beeswax. Beeswax consists primarily of five main groups of components, namely: 1. Free fatty acids (typically 12-14%), most of which are saturated (ca. 85%) and have a chain length of C24-C32. 2. Free primary fatty alcohols (ca. 1%) with a chain length of C28-C35. 3. Linear wax monoesters and hydroxymonoesters (35-45%) with chain lengths generally of C40- C48. The esters are derived almost exclusively from palmitic acid, 15-hydroxypalmitic acid, and oleic acid. -
Decco Communication on Shellac Resin
Decco Communication on Shellac Resin 1 BACKGROUND Some supermarkets in Australia have inquired about the quality of shellac resin used as an ingredient in apple wax coatings. Apple packers, who are EE Muir’s customers, have in turn asked EE Muir to provide documentation on the quality of shellac and manufacturing practices used by Decco. Below are a number of documents and explanations that Decco is providing to EE Muir in support of Decco’s quality and manufacturing practices. 2 WHAT IS NATURAL SHELLAC RESIN Shellac is a natural gum resin secreted by the lac beetle (laccifer lacca) which lives on trees in tropical and subtropical regions. The natural gum resin is harvested from the trees and then processed and refined into flakes and powders of pure natural shellac resin. 3 SHELLAC AND ITS USES Natural shellac resin has unique properties and is used in various applications such as: Fruit coatings, Confectionery (Candy & Chocolates coating), Pharmaceutical (Tablets coatings) as well as several non- food segments. Shellac is used as a 'wax' coating on citrus fruit to prolong its shelf/storage life. It is also used to replace the natural wax of the apple, which is removed during the cleaning & washing process. In these applications, the wax coating prevents moisture loss (shrinking, shriveling of the fruit) and preserves the textural and eating quality of the fruit. When used for this purpose, it has the food additive E number E904 which is recognized and adopted worldwide. Shellac is also used as a glazing agent on pills, food, chocolate & candies, in the form of pharmaceutical glaze or, confectioner's glaze. -

Juices from Non-Typical Edible Fruits As Health-Promoting Acidity Regulators for Food Industry
Post-print of: Koss-Mikołajczyk I., Kusznierewicz B., Namieśnik J., Bartoszek-Pączkowska A.: Juices from non-typical edible fruits as health-promoting acidity regulators for food industry. LWT-FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. Vol. 64, iss. 2 (2015), p. 845-852. DOI: 10.1016/j.lwt.2015.06.072 Juices from non-typical edible fruits as health-promoting acidity regulators for food industry Izabela Koss-Mikołajczyk a, Barbara Kusznierewicz a, Jacek Namiesnik b, Agnieszka Bartoszek a a Department of Food Chemistry, Technology and Biotechnology, Gdansk University of Technology, Gdansk, Poland b Department of Analytical Chemistry, Gdansk University of Technology, Gdansk, Poland abstract The study verifies the possibility of application of juices from selected fruits characterized by the high antioxidant potential as natural acidity regulators with improved nutritional properties. The tested non-typical fruits included mirabelle plum, sea buckthorn and blue-berried honeysuckle. Beetroot juice whose pH is about 6.0 served as a model food product. Potentiometric titration was used to compare the efficacy of tested juices as acidity regulators with that of citric þ acid, a widely applied acidity regulator. The antioxidant activity of tested mixtures of juices was determined by spectrophotometric ABTS (2,2-azinobis- (ethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) diammonium salt) test and their cytotoxic activity was assessed by MTT (thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide) test. The potentiometric titration revealed that the efficacy of the juices proposed as acidity regulators matched that of citric acid. Among the mixtures of beetroot juice and titrants studied, the addition of blue-berried honeysuckle juice ensured the highest antioxidant activity, followed by sea buckthorn and mirabelle plum juices. -

Berry and Fruit Juices As Potential Untraditional Acidity Regulators in Mashing
FOODBALT 2014 BERRY AND FRUIT JUICES AS POTENTIAL UNTRADITIONAL ACIDITY REGULATORS IN MASHING Ingmars Cinkmanis, Sanita Vucane, Ilze Cakste Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Food Technology, Latvia University of Agriculture, Liela street 2, Jelgava, Latvia, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Acids traditionally used for acidification of mash (lactic acid, phosphorus acid) provide optimal medium pH, however, it is theoretically possible to choose such agents that would complete several tasks, ensuring the regulation of pH. Berry and fruit juices (cranberry, black currant, red currant, quince, apple and lemon) containing different organic acids, such as citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid and fumaric acid, have similar properties, although they can not only acidify mash but also increase the content of extract substances in wort. In berries and fruits juices titratable acidity and pH was measured potentiometrically using pH meter. The highest titratable acidity of berry and fruit juices was in lemon (5.71 mmol L-1) and quinic juice (5.80 mmol L-1). Lemon juice has a lower pH 2.40 and apple juice has the highest pH 4.82. Results of the analysis of mash pH changes showed, that it is possible to reduce pH replacing traditional acidification regulators (lactic acid, phosphoric acid) with berry and fruit juices. The pH was practically in all the mashing stages in the limits of 5.14±0.02 up to 5.19±0.02. The content of wort extract was analyzed using beer analysing system – Anton Paar „Alcolaizer” analysis. Using HPLC the Carbohydrates like glucose and maltose in wort were detected and quantified. -
E Number from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
E number From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia E numbers are codes for substances which can be used as food additives for use within the European Union[1] and Switzerland (the "E" stands for "Europe").[2] They are commonly found on food labels throughout the European Union.[3] Safety assessment and approval are the responsibility of the European Food Safety Authority.[4] Having a single unified list for food additives was first agreed upon in 1962 with colours. In 1964, the directives for preservatives were added, 1970 for antioxidants and 1974 for the emulsifiers, stabilisers, thickeners and gelling agents.[5] Contents A solution of E101 riboflavin (also 1 Numbering scheme known as Vitamin B2) 2 Colloquial use 3 Classification by numeric range 4 Full list 4.1 E100–E199 (colours) 4.2 E200–E299 (preservatives) 4.3 E300–E399 (antioxidants, acidity regulators) 4.4 E400–E499 (thickeners, stabilizers, emulsifiers) 4.5 E500–E599 (acidity regulators, anti-caking Crystals of E621 Monosodium glutamate, a flavour enhancer agents) 4.6 E600–E699 (flavour enhancers) 4.7 E700–E799 (antibiotics) 4.8 E900–E999 (glazing agents and sweeteners) 4.9 E1000–E1599 (additional chemicals) 5 See also 6 Notes 7 External links Numbering scheme The numbering scheme follows that of the International Numbering System (INS) as determined by the Codex Alimentarius committee,[6] though only a subset of the INS additives are approved for use in the European Union as food additives. E numbers are also encountered on food labelling in other jurisdictions, including the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, Australia, New Zealand[7] and Israel. -
