Synopsis (short abstract) Prepared at the 82nd JECFA (2016) and published in FAO JECFA Monograph 19 (2016), superseding specifications for Acetylated distarch adipate included in the specifications for Modified starches prepared at the 79th JECFA (2014), published in FAO JECFA Monographs 16 (2014). An ADI “not specified” was established at the 26th JECFA (1982). Starch is a carbohydrate polymer consisting of a large number of glucose units linked together primarily by alpha 1-4 glucosidic bonds. The starch polymers come in two forms: linear (amylose) and branched through alpha 1-6 glucosidic bonds (amylopectin), with each glucose unit possessing a maximum of three hydroxyls that can undergo chemical substitution. Acid treated starch is a modified starch. It is obtained by treatment of food starch with hydrochloric acid or ortho-phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid, in accordance with good manufacturing practice. The alteration of the starch is a minor fragmentation.

Prepared at the 82nd JECFA (2016) and published in FAO JECFA Monograph 19 (2016), superseding specifications for Acetylated distarch adipate included in the specifications for Modified starches prepared at the 79th JECFA (2014), published in FAO JECFA Monographs 16 (2014).

The starch polymers come in two forms: linear (amylose) and branched through alpha 1-6 glucosidic bonds (amylopectin), with each glucose unit possessing a maximum of three hydroxyls that can undergo chemical substitution. Bleached starch is a modified starch. It is obtained by treatment of food starch, in accordance with good manufacturing practice, with peracetic acid and/or hydrogen peroxide, or sodium hypochlorite or sodium chlorite, or sulfur dioxide or alternative permitted forms of sulfites, or potassium permanga nate or ammonium persulfate. The change is essentially in the colour only. Reagents are either removed or limited to technically unavoidable levels.

Edible insects in Lao PDR: Building on tradition to enhance food security 2014

Also available in:

No results found.

The percentage of the population of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic that regularly consumes insects is among the highest in the world. Most edible insects in Lao PDR are collected from wild habitats, and local people possess a rich body of traditional knowledge relating to harvesting practices, timing of collection and management of insect resources. Recently efforts have been made to introduce technologies for sustainable farming of selected insect species. This publication chronicles eff orts to enhance the contribution of edible insects to food security and improved nutrition in Lao PDR. It describes the most commonly consumed insects, details collecting and management practices, introduces the fledging insect farming sector, and presents experiences related to food safety, processing, handling, marketing and consumption of edible insects in Lao PDR.

Also available in:

No results found.

A meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) was held in Rome, Italy, from 17 to 26 June 2008. The purpose of the meeting was to evaluate certain food additives and flavouring agents. The present meeting was the sixty-ninth in a series of similar meetings. The tasks before the Committee were (a) to elaborate principles governing the evaluation of compounds on the food additives; (b) to evaluate certain food additives, including flavouring agents, and (c) to review an d prepare specifications for selected food additives and flavouring agents.
