ALIPHATIC ACYCLIC AND ALICYCLIC a-DIKETONES AND RELATED a-HYDROXYKETONES (addendum)

摘要

The Committee evaluated eight additional flavouring agents belonging to the group of aliphatic acyclic and alicyclic alpha-diketones and related a-hydroxyketones, which was evaluated previously. The additional flavouring agents included two aliphatica-diketones, two aliphatic a-hydroxyketones, one aliphatic p-diketone, one alicyclic a,beta-unsaturated alpha-hydroxyketone and two a-hydroxyketals. The group of substances was selected on the basis'of the structural criteria of possessing an aliphatic acyclic and alicyclic a-diketone and related alpha-hydroxyketone. The evaluations were conducted using the Procedure for the Safety Evaluation of Flavouring Agents (Figure 1, Introduction) (Annex 1, reference 131). None of these flavouring agents has previously been evaluated.
