Grapefruit, Extract
OtherGrapefruit extract (CAS 90045-43-5) is a natural ingredient derived from grapefruit fruit, seeds, or pulp. Its specific function in food applications remains poorly documented, though extracts from citrus fruits are commonly used in food production.
Grapefruit, Juice
OtherGrapefruit juice is a natural beverage derived from grapefruit fruit, commonly consumed as a drink and occasionally used in food formulations. Its specific function as a food additive remains unclear, though it may contribute flavor or nutritional properties to processed foods.
Grapefruit, Oil, Terpeneless (citrus Paradisi)
OtherGrapefruit oil, terpeneless is a concentrated flavoring extract derived from grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) with volatile terpene compounds removed. It is used in food manufacturing as a flavoring agent to impart grapefruit taste and aroma to beverages, confections, and other food products.
Ground Limestone
OtherGround limestone is a mineral substance composed of calcium carbonate derived from crushed limestone rock. While its specific function in food applications remains unclear, it has been used in various food processing contexts with no reported adverse events to the FDA.
Guava Extract
OtherGuava extract is a plant-derived substance obtained from guava fruit (Psidium guajava), used in food and beverage applications. Its specific functional properties in food formulations remain poorly characterized in regulatory documentation.
Gutta Hang Kang (palaquium Leiocarpum Boerl. And P. Oblongifolium Burck.)
OtherGutta Hang Kang is a natural masticatory substance derived from two species of Palaquium trees native to Southeast Asia. It is used in chewing gums and similar products as a gum base component that provides texture and chewability.
Hexanal
OtherHexanal (CAS 66-25-1) is a naturally occurring six-carbon aldehyde compound found in various plants and foods. Its specific function in food applications remains unclear, and it is not currently approved as a food additive by the FDA.
Horehound (marrubium Vulgare L.)
OtherHorehound (Marrubium vulgare L.) is a perennial herb traditionally used in herbal preparations and confectionery. Its specific function as a food additive remains undefined, and it is not approved as a food ingredient by the FDA.
Horehound Solid, Extract
OtherHorehound Solid, Extract is a botanical extract derived from horehound plant material, used in food products for flavoring purposes. Its specific function in commercial food applications remains poorly documented in available scientific literature.
Hydrazine
OtherHydrazine (CAS 302-01-2) is a colorless, flammable chemical compound primarily used in industrial applications such as rocket fuel and water treatment. Its function in food, if any, remains undocumented in available literature.
Iceland Moss (cetraria Islandica Ach.)
OtherIceland Moss (Cetraria islandica) is a lichen traditionally used in herbal preparations and some food products. Its specific function in modern food manufacturing remains unclear, with minimal regulatory approval and no documented adverse events or recalls in FDA records.
Immortelle, Absolute (helichrysum Angustifolium Dc)
OtherImmortelle absolute is a concentrated aromatic extract derived from the Helichrysum angustifolium plant, also known as curry plant or immortelle flower. Its specific function in food applications remains poorly documented, and it is not approved as a food additive by the FDA.
Insoluble Glucose Isomerase Enzyme Preparations
OtherInsoluble Glucose Isomerase Enzyme Preparations are immobilized enzyme catalysts derived from microbial sources, primarily used in high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) production to convert glucose into fructose. These preparations enable efficient, continuous industrial sweetener manufacturing while minimizing enzyme contamination in final products.
Ion Exchange Membranes
OtherIon exchange membranes are synthetic polymer materials used as processing aids in food production to separate, purify, or treat food components during manufacturing. They function by selectively allowing certain ions or molecules to pass through while blocking others, helping remove impurities, adjust mineral content, or concentrate food products.
Ion Exchange Resin
OtherIon exchange resin is a processing aid used in food manufacturing to remove unwanted ions and impurities from liquids, particularly in water treatment and juice processing. It functions as a filter material that helps purify food products without becoming part of the final product.
Isobutane
OtherIsobutane is a colorless, odorless hydrocarbon gas used as a propellant in food aerosol products. It enables the dispensing of cooking sprays, whipped cream, and similar foods by providing pressure to push contents from the container.
Isobutylene-isoprene Copolymer
OtherIsobutylene-isoprene copolymer is a synthetic rubber compound used as a masticatory substance in chewing gum and related products. It functions as a gum base component that provides elasticity and texture to chewing gum formulations.
Isopropyl Myristate
OtherIsopropyl myristate (CAS 110-27-0) is a fatty acid ester primarily used in cosmetics and topical pharmaceutical formulations. Its use in food products is not clearly established, and it is not approved as a food additive by the FDA.
Isopropyl Palmitate
OtherIsopropyl palmitate is a fatty acid ester derived from palmitic acid and isopropyl alcohol. It functions as a conditioning agent and emollient in food products, though its specific food applications remain limited and not clearly defined in regulatory documentation.
Jelutong (dyera Costulata Hook, F. And D. Lowii Hook, F.)
OtherJelutong is a natural masticatory substance derived from two species of tropical trees native to Southeast Asia (Dyera costulata and Dyera lowii). It functions as a gum base component and surface cleaning agent in food products, particularly chewing gum.
L-hydroxyproline
OtherL-hydroxyproline is an amino acid derivative that occurs naturally in collagen and gelatin. While its specific function in food applications remains unclear, it appears in some food products and nutritional supplements.
Lactalbumin Phosphate
OtherLactalbumin Phosphate is a phosphorylated derivative of lactalbumin, a milk protein. Its specific function in food applications remains poorly documented in available scientific literature, and it is not currently recognized as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA.
