Evaluations

Evaluation year: 2005

ADI:
0-1 mg quillaia saponins/kg bw

Comments:
Group ADI with quillaia extract (type 2)
Intake:
An assessment of dietary exposure considered the additional use of quillaia extract type 1 in semi-frozen carbonated and non-carbonated beverages (up to 500 mg/kg product). Using a model diet approach, high-percentile consumption was estimated to lead to an exposure of 44 to 157% of the ADI, assuming the presence of quillaia extract type 1 at 295 mg/l in all water-based flavoured drinks. Using a probabilistic exposure assessment and assuming that the frequency and amount per eating occasion are independent variables, the estimated dietary exposure was below the ADI at the 90th percentile. Assuming 100% dependency between frequency and amount consumed, it was estimated that 100-700 individuals per million over the whole population could exceed the ADI under these conditions.
