E 460(Ii), E 461, E 462, E 463, E 464, E 465, E 466, E 468 and E 469 As Food Additives SCIENTIFIC OPINION ADOPTED: 27 September 2017 doi: 10.2903/j.efsa.2018.5047 Re-evaluation of celluloses E 460(i), E 460(ii), E 461, E 462, E 463, E 464, E 465, E 466, E 468 and E 469 as food additives EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS), Maged Younes, Peter Aggett, Fernando Aguilar, Riccardo Crebelli, Alessandro Di Domenico, Birgit Dusemund, Metka Filipic, Maria Jose Frutos, Pierre Galtier, David Gott, Ursula Gundert-Remy, Gunter Georg Kuhnle, Claude Lambre, Jean-Charles Leblanc, Inger Therese Lillegaard, Peter Moldeus, Alicja Mortensen, Agneta Oskarsson, Ivan Stankovic, Paul Tobback, Ine Waalkens-Berendsen, Matthew Wright, Alexandra Tard, Stavroula Tasiopoulou and Rudolf Antonius Woutersen Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient sources added to Food (ANS) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the re-evaluation of microcrystalline cellulose (E 460(i)), powdered cellulose (E 460(ii)), methyl cellulose (E 461), ethyl cellulose (E 462), hydroxypropyl cellulose (E 463), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (E 464), ethyl methyl cellulose (E 465), sodium carboxy methyl cellulose (E 466) and enzymatically hydrolysed carboxy methyl cellulose (E 469) as food additives. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) established an acceptable daily intake (ADI) ‘not specified’ for unmodified and modified celluloses. Celluloses are not absorbed and are excreted intact in the faeces; in addition, microcrystalline cellulose, powdered and modified celluloses could be fermented by the intestinal flora in animals and humans. Specific toxicity data were not always available for all the celluloses evaluated in the present opinion and for all endpoints. Given their structural, physicochemical and biological similarities, the Panel considered it possible to read-across between all the celluloses. The acute toxicity of celluloses was low and there was no genotoxic concern. Short-term and subchronic dietary toxicity studies performed with E 460(i), E 461, E 462, E 463, E 464, E 466 and E 469 at levels up to 10% did not indicate specific treatment related adverse effects. In chronic toxicity studies performed with E 460(i), E 461, E 463, E 464, E 465 and E 466, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) values reported ranged up to 9,000 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day. No carcinogenic properties were detected for microcrystalline cellulose and modified celluloses. Adverse effects on reproductive performance or developmental effects were not observed with celluloses at doses greater than 1,000 mg/kg bw by gavage (often the highest dose tested). The combined exposure to celluloses (E 460–466, E 468 and E 469) at 95th percentile of the refined (brand-loyal) exposure assessment for the general population was up to 506 mg/kg bw per day. The Panel concluded that there was no need for a numerical ADI and that there would be no safety concern at the reported uses and use levels for the unmodified and modified celluloses (E 460(i); E 460(ii); E 461–466; E 468 and E 469). The Panel considered an indicative total exposure of around 660–900 mg/kg bw per day for microcrystalline, powdered and modified celluloses. © 2018 European Food Safety Authority.

These celluloses are authorised as food additives in accordance with Annex II and Annex III of Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008. Cellulose is a linear glucose homopolymer consisting of glucopyranose units linked by b-1,4- glycosidic bonds; its molecular formula is (C6H10O5)m, with the degree of polymerisation (DP) dependent on the origin of the cellulolytic material. Cellulose molecular weight has been calculated to be approximately in the range 50,000–2,500,000. In modified celluloses, the chemical and physical characteristics of the native substances are modified in order to confer different technological properties for particular food applications. Microcrystalline cellulose is purified, partially depolymerised cellulose prepared by treating a- cellulose, obtained as a pulp from strains of fibrous plant material, while powdered cellulose is purified, mechanically disintegrated cellulose prepared by processing a-cellulose. Methyl cellulose (E 461), ethyl cellulose (E 462), hydroxypropyl cellulose (E 463), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (E 464) and ethyl methyl cellulose (E 465) are celluloses obtained synthetically from fibrous plant material. Each of the celluloses is partially etherified with methyl groups, ethyl groups, hydroxypropyl groups and contains a small degree of hydroxypropyl substitution, and methyl and ethyl groups, respectively. Microcrystalline cellulose (E 460(i)) and powdered cellulose (E 460(ii)) have been previously evaluated by the Scientific Committee on Food (SCF), the most recent evaluation dating in 1999. In 1999, the SCF assessed additional toxicological data and confirmed the ‘ADI not specified’, established in 1978. As a matter of precaution, the Committee repeated the advice given in 1995, according to which, the particle size should not be lower than 5 lm with a tolerance of 10% by the number of particles. The latest evaluation of methyl cellulose (E 461), ethyl cellulose (E 462), hydroxypropyl cellulose (E 463), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (E 464), methyl ethyl cellulose (E 465), carboxy methyl cellulose (E 466) by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) was done in 1989 (JECFA, 1990), where an acceptable daily intake (ADI) ‘not specified’ was established for each modified cellulose. Latest evaluation of enzymatically hydrolysed carboxy methyl cellulose (E 469) was done in 1998 (JECFA, 1999a,b) and an ADI ‘not specified’ was established. The ADI for cross-linked sodium carboxy methyl cellulose previously established by JECFA (2003) is ‘not specified’ based on the substance being poorly absorbed and of low toxicity, with which is in agreement with the known low toxicity of other modified celluloses. Animal and human data clearly demonstrated that microcrystalline cellulose (E 460(i)) and powdered cellulose (E 460(ii)) are not absorbed intact in the gastrointestinal tract and could be fermented during their passage through the large intestine by strains of bacteria found in the human colon. Data for methyl cellulose (E 461), hydroxypropyl cellulose (E 463), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (E 464), ethyl methyl cellulose (E 465), sodium carboxy methyl cellulose (E 466), cross-linked sodium carboxy methyl cellulose (E 468) and enzymatically hydrolysed carboxy methyl cellulose (E 469) demonstrated that these modified celluloses are not absorbed intact, not fermented and are excreted intact via the faeces.

  • Call for Food Additives Usage Level And/Or Concentration Data in Food and Beverages Intended for Human Consumption
    Call for food additives usage level and/or concentration data in food and beverages intended for human consumption Deadline for data submission: 31th May 2016 Background Regulation (EC) No 1333/20081 of the European Parliament and the Council on food additives requires that food additives are subject to a safety evaluation by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) before they are permitted for use in the European Union. In addition, it is foreseen that food additives must be kept under continuous observation and must be re-evaluated by EFSA. For this purpose, a programme for the re-evaluation of food additives that were already permitted in the European Union before 20 January 2009 has been set up under Commission Regulation (EU) No 257/2010 of 25 March 20102. This Regulation also foresees that food additives are re-evaluated whenever necessary in light of changing conditions of use and new scientific information. For efficiency and practical purposes, the re-evaluation should, as far as possible, be conducted by grouping food additives according to the main functional class to which they belong. The order of specific priorities for the re-evaluation of the currently approved food additives is listed in Annex II of Commission Regulation (EU) No 257/2010. Deadline for submission of data The deadline for the submission of data (Batch 4) is 31st May 2016, and details are listed in Table 1. Further calls for data in relation to the food additives re-evaluation work programme will be published according to the deadlines laid down in Reg. (EU) No 257/2010.

    The Effect of Different Concentrations of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose on the Morphology and Mechanical Properties of Whey Protein Isolate Edible Films Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Cyd Marie Quiñones Pérez, B.S. Graduate Program in Food Science and Technology The Ohio State University 2019 Thesis Committee Dr. Melvin Pascall, Advisor Dr. Gireesh Rajashekara Dr. Hua Wang Copyrighted by Cyd Marie Quiñones Pérez 2019 Abstract A container is a barrier between a packaged product and its external environment, and it protects the product from interaction between water, oxygen, dirt, light in some cases and microorganisms. The main types of food packaging materials are glass, plastic, metal, paper board and composites. Plastics are made from polymers. A polymer is made of a large number of monomeric units connected by covalent chemical bonds to make a large molecular weight structure. Some polymers are petroleum based while others are made from plants, animals or microorganisms. Due to increased environmental concerns about plastic waste, many researchers are currently focusing on the synthesis of bio-based sustainable plastic packaging materials. Polysaccharides such as Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), and proteins such as Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) are being used in the food industry because they are widely available, nontoxic and have the capacity to produce edible films with acceptable properties. The objectives of this study were to compare the ratio of blending HPMC with WPI on physical, mechanical, thermal and permeability properties of films made with the blends. Five different blends were tested HPMC-WPI (100:0), HPMC-WPI (75:25), HPMC-WPI (50:50), HPMC-WPI (25:75) and HPMC-WPI (0:100).

  • Formulation Considerations for the Management of Dry Eye Disease
    pharmaceutics Review Formulation Considerations for the Management of Dry Eye Disease Priyanka Agarwal 1, Jennifer P. Craig 2 and Ilva D. Rupenthal 1,* 1 Buchanan Ocular Therapeutics Unit, Department of Ophthalmology, New Zealand National Eye Centre, The University of Auckland, Auckland 1142, New Zealand; [email protected] 2 Department of Ophthalmology, New Zealand National Eye Centre, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, The University of Auckland, Auckland 1142, New Zealand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +64-9-923-6386 Abstract: Dry eye disease (DED) is one of the most common ocular surface disorders characterised by a deficiency in quality and/or quantity of the tear fluid. Due to its multifactorial nature involving several inter-related underlying pathologies, it can rapidly accelerate to become a chronic refractory condition. Therefore, several therapeutic interventions are often simultaneously recommended to manage DED efficiently. Typically, artificial tear supplements are the first line of treatment, followed by topical application of medicated eyedrops. However, the bioavailability of topical eyedrops is generally low as the well-developed protective mechanisms of the eye ensure their rapid clearance from the precorneal space, thus limiting ocular penetration of the incorporated drug. Moreover, excipients commonly used in eyedrops can potentially exhibit ocular toxicity and further exacerbate the signs and symptoms of DED. Therefore, formulation development of topical eyedrops is rather challenging. This review highlights the challenges typically faced in eyedrop development, in particular, those intended for the management of DED. Firstly, various artificial tear supplements currently on the market, their mechanisms of action, as well as their application, are discussed.
