Evaluations

Evaluation year: 2017

ADI:
NOT SPECIFIED

Comments:
JECFA took into account the lack of systemic exposure to gum ghatti because of its high molecular weight and polysaccharide structure, its lack of toxicity in short-term studies, the lack of concern for genotoxicity and the absence of treatment-related adverse effects in studies of gum arabic and other polysaccharide gums with a similar profile. JECFA concluded that gum ghatti is unlikely to be of health concern and established an ADI “not specified” for gum ghatti that complies with the specifications.
