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.
Iron Caprylate
OtherIron Caprylate is an iron salt of caprylic acid used as a drying agent in food production. It facilitates moisture removal during processing and helps maintain product stability in certain applications.
Iron Linoleate
OtherIron linoleate is an iron salt of linoleic acid used as a drying agent in food manufacturing. It facilitates the oxidation and hardening of oils and fats in products like coatings and glazes.
Iron Naphthenate
OtherIron naphthenate is an organometallic compound used as a drying agent in food processing. It functions by accelerating the oxidation and polymerization of oils and fats, helping them dry more quickly during manufacturing.
Iron Polyvinylpyrrolidone
OtherIron Polyvinylpyrrolidone is a complex formed between iron and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), a synthetic polymer. Its specific function in food applications remains unclear, and it has not been approved as a food additive by the FDA.
Iron Tallate
OtherIron Tallate (CAS 61788-81-6) is a drying agent used in food processing to remove moisture and prevent caking in powdered products. It functions by absorbing water and improving the flow properties of dry food ingredients.
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.
L-tyrosine Ethyl Ester Hydrochloride
OtherL-tyrosine Ethyl Ester Hydrochloride is a modified amino acid derivative with an unknown function in food applications. This compound has not been established as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the FDA and appears rarely in food manufacturing.
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.
Lactase From Saccharomyces (kluyveromyces) Lactis
OtherLactase from Saccharomyces (Kluyveromyces) lactis is an enzyme derived from yeast that breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose. It is used in food processing to reduce lactose content in dairy products, making them suitable for lactose-intolerant consumers.
