  • Application A603 Supporting Document 3 FOOD TECHNOLOGY
    Application A603 Supporting Document 3 FOOD TECHNOLOGY REPORT Summary The Applicant, Golding Handcrafts, claims that there is a technical need to extend the use of the red food colouring erythrosine in Australia and New Zealand from preserved cherries to food colouring preparations used to colour icing and other cake decorations for the technological purpose of achieving colour enhancement. This has been substantiated with claims that food colourings preparations containing erythrosine possess superior colouring characteristics to alternative red food colourings including colour strength, longevity, lack of bleeding and quality of the finished product. Consequently this allow for a greater range of colouring effects to be achieved including wider ranges of pinks, lavenders, violets, royal blue and true black. The Applicant notes that commercial products are currently available for this purpose in the United States of America (USA) and seeks to import and sell these colourings preparations for cake icing and related products for use in Australia and New Zealand. The merit of using erythrosine is strongly supported by some companies, in particular, AmericolorTM Corporation and CK Products, two of the largest companies who use erythrosine in products for cake decorating purposes. They have advised the Applicant that the purpose of adding erythrosine to food is to achieve a precise visual effect and unique shades which are unattainable by using any other food colours. The colour hue and intensity is directly affected by the amounts of erythrosine added and the proposed amounts are consistent in achieving the intended result – to colour the food. Colour combinations are individually weighed and added to the mix for each single recipe so that a consistent final effect is obtained.

Received 22 September, 2020; Accepted 27 October, 2020 Food additives Azo dyes are synthetic compounds added to foods to impart color and improve their properties. Some azo dyes have been banned as food additives due to toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic side effects. Long exposure to foods containing azo dye leads to chronic toxicity. Some microorganisms are capable to degrade these dyes and convert them to aromatic amines. In human body, microbiota can play a vital role in biodegradation of azo dyes by producing azo reductase. Aromatic amines are toxic, water-soluble and well absorbed via human intestine. In the current study, the role of microorganisms in biodegradation of six dyes related to azo group was discussed. These dyes are: Tartrazine E102, Sunset Yellow E110, Ponceau E124, Azorubine E122, Amaranth E123, and Allura Red E129 which are classified as the most harmful food additive dyes. Key word: Food additive, azo dyes, microorganisms, azo reductase, aromatic amines.

Koenderink, Heidi Kidron 3 ABSTRACT Food additives are compounds that are added to food and beverage to improve taste, color, preservation or composition. Generally, food additives are considered safe for human use due to safety evaluation conducted by food safety authorities and high safety margins applied to permitted usage levels. However, the interaction potential of food additives with simultaneously administered medication has not received much attention. Even though many food additives are poorly absorbed into systemic circulation, high concentrations could exist in the intestinal lumen making intestinal drug transporters, such as the uptake transporter organic anion transporting polypeptide 2B1 (OATP2B1), a possible site of food additive–drug interaction. In the present work, we aimed to characterize the interaction of a selection of 25 food additives including colorants, preservatives and sweeteners with OATP2B1 in vitro. In HEK293 cells transiently overexpressing OATP2B1 or control, uptake of dibromofluorescein was studied with and without 50 µM food additive at pH 7.4.

  • Evaluation of Certain Food Additives
    WHO Technical Report Series 1014 Evaluation of certain food additives Eighty-sixth report of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives The World Health Organization (WHO) was established in 1948 as a specialized agency of the United Nations serving as the directing and coordinating authority for international health matters and public health. One of WHO’s constitutional functions is to provide objective and reliable information and advice in the field of human health, a responsibility that it fulfils in part through its extensive programme of publications. The Organization seeks through its publications to support national health strategies and address the most pressing public health concerns of populations around the world. To respond to the needs of Member States at all levels of development, WHO publishes practical manuals, handbooks and training material for specific categories of health workers; internationally applicable guidelines and standards; reviews and analyses of health policies, programmes and research; and state-of-the-art consensus reports that offer technical advice and recommendations for decision-makers. These books are closely tied to the Organization’s priority activities, encompassing disease prevention and control, the development of equitable health systems based on primary health care, and health promotion for individuals and communities. Progress towards better health for all also demands the global dissemination and exchange of information that draws on the knowledge and experience of all WHO Member States and the collaboration of world leaders in public health and the biomedical sciences. To ensure the widest possible availability of authoritative information and guidance on health matters, WHO secures the broad international distribution of its publications and encourages their translation and adaptation.

  • Automation of AOAC 988.13 for the Identification of FD&C Color
    May, 2012 Automation of AOAC 988.13 for the Identification of FD&C Color Additives in Foods using Solid Phase Extraction Application Note FB0112 Keywords GX-274 ASPEC™, AOAC, Spectrophotometer, Food and Beverage, Solid Phase Extraction, SPE, Color Additives, FD&C, FDA, TRILUTION ® LH, Liquid Handling Introduction A color additive is any dye, pigment or other substance which imparts color to a food, drug or cosmetic or to the human body (1). Color additives for food are commonly found in expected places, such as candies and powdered drink mixes, but also can be added to fruit skins to make them look more appealing. The addition of synthetic color additives is regulated closely by the FDA and is examined from the manufacturing of the pigment itself, through to its use and appropriate product labeling. Color additives have come under scrutiny recently because of their potential adverse physical and mental health effects that may be linked to ingestion, especially in children. AOAC method 988.13 qualitatively tests for the presence of eight synthetic color additives, one of which is now banned. These color additives are FD&C colors approved for use in food, drugs and cosmetics. Additives are extracted from the sample matrix using solid phase extraction (SPE), and then identified by spectrum analysis on a spectrophotometer. The color additives examined by the method – FD&C Red Nos. 3 and 40, Blue Nos. 1 and 2, Yellow Nos. 5 and 6, Green No. 3 and the now banned Red No. 2 – are listed in Table 1, along with the E Number used in the EU and UK, common chemical name and chemical structure.

  • Analysis of Artificial Colorants in Various Food Samples Using Monolithic Silica Columns and LC-MS by Stephan Altmaier, Merck Millipore, Frankfurter Str
    31 Analysis of Artificial Colorants in Various Food Samples using Monolithic Silica Columns and LC-MS by Stephan Altmaier, Merck Millipore, Frankfurter Str. 250, 64293 Darmstadt, Germany This work describes a simple and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography method with UV or mass spectrometry detection for the analysis of artificial colorants from dye classes such as azo or chinophthalone in various food samples. After a short sample preparation procedure all samples were separated on C18 reversed phase monolithic silica columns via a gradient elution profile and directly transferred to UV or MS for the analysis of the main components. This setup enabled the identification of dyes in real life samples such as beverages or sweets within very short analysis times and with a minimised sample preparation step.
