Evaluations

Evaluation year: 2001

ADI:
NOT SPECIFIED

Comments:
alpha-Cyclodextrin does not pose a safety concern at the proposed use levels and resulting predicted consumption as a food ingredient and food additive. The ADI 'not specified' previously established at the fifty-seventh meeting (2001) for use as a carrier and stabilizer for flavours, colours, and sweeteners, as a water-solubilizer for fatty acids and certain vitamins, as a flavour modifier in soya milk, and as an absorbent in confectionery was maintained.
