ALIPHATIC LINEAR a,p-UNSATURATED ALDEHYDES, ACIDS AND RELATED ALCOHOLS, ACETALS AND ESTERS

摘要

The Committee evaluated a group of flavouring agents consisting of five aliphatic linear alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes, acids and related alcohols, acetals and esters. This group included frans-2-nonenyl acetate (No. 2163), propyl sorbate (No. 2164), c/s-2-octenol (No. 2165), frans-2-tridecenol (No. 2166) and ethyl 2-hexenoate (mixture of isomers) (No. 2167). 2-Phenyl-4-methyl-2-hexenal (No. 2069) was submitted for evaluation, but the Committee considered that it did not belong to this group of flavouring agents, and the compound was therefore not further considered. The evaluations were conducted according to the Procedure for the Safety Evaluation of Flavouring Agents (see Figure 1, Introduction) (Annex 1, reference 131). None of these flavouring agents have previously been evaluated by the Committee.
