Project description
In this project, routine analytical methods will be developed, validated and made available which enable the characterization of the following emulsifiers: sucrose-esters (E473) and sucroglycerides (E474), polyglycerolesters of fatty acids (E475), stearolyl-2-lactylate salts (E481, E482) and the sorbitan-esters E491-E 495. These methods will be used to determine the quantitatively the amount of these respective emulsifiers in foods in which the use of these additives is permitted.
