E477 GLYCOL-POLYPROPYLENE ESTERS OF FATTY ACIDS
The glycol-polypropylene esters of fatty acids are a combination of propanodiol and natural fats.
The fats are especially of vegetable origin, but fats of animal origin could also be used in the preparation.
These additives are used in the food industry for their emulsifying and stabilizing functions and as regulators of the crystallization of fats.
They can be contained in various foods, such as bakery products.
In predisposed subjects and / or in particularly sensitive people, high concentrations of propylene glycol can cause eczema.
This generally does not happen with the intake of this additive through food.
ADI dose: 25 mg per kg of body weight.
