(7)the entry for ‘E 1450 STARCH SODIUM OCTENYL SUCCINATE’ is replaced by the following:‘E 1450STARCH SODIUM OCTENYL SUCCINATESynonyms | SSOSDefinition | Starch sodium octenyl succinate is a modified starch. It is manufactured by treatment of a slurry of food starch with octenylsuccinic anhydride. After the appropriate extent of esterification is achieved, the modified starch is recovered by neutralisation with acid, washing with water, dewatering and drying.Einecs |Chemical name |Chemical formula |Molecular weight |Assay |Description | White or nearly white powder or granules or (if pregelatinised) flakes, amorphous powder or coarse particlesIdentification |Microscopic observation | Passes test (if not pregelatinised)Iodine staining | Passes test (dark blue to light red colour)Purity |Loss on drying | Not more than 15,0 % for cereal starchNot more than 21,0 % for potato starchNot more than 18,0 % for other starchesOctenylsuccinyl groups | Not more than 3 % (on an anhydrous basis)Octenylsuccinic acid residue | Not more than 0,3 % (on an anhydrous basis)Sulphur dioxide | Not more than 10 mg/kg on the anhydrous basisArsenic | Not more than 0,05 mg/kg (on an anhydrous basis) (only if added to foods for infants and young children)Not more than 0,1 mg/kg (on an anhydrous basis) (for all uses except for foods intended for infants and young children)Lead | Not more than 0,03 mg/kg (on an anhydrous basis) (only if added to foods for infants and young children)Not more than 0,2 mg/kg (on an anhydrous basis) (for all uses except for foods intended for infants and young children)Mercury | Not more than 0,05 mg/kg (on an anhydrous basis)Cadmium | Not more than 0,01 mg/kg (on an anhydrous basis) (only if added to foods for infants and young children)Not more than 0,1 mg/kg (on an anhydrous basis) (for all uses except for foods intended for infants and young children)Gluten | Gluten free, only in infant formula and follow-on formula, in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/127Microbiological criteria |Enterobacteriaceae | Absent in 10 g (only if added to dried infant formulae, dried foods for special medical purposes intended for infants below 6 months of age and dried follow-on formulae)Escherichia coli | Absent in 10 g (only if added to foods for infants)Salmonella spp. | Absent in 25 g (only if added to dried infant formulae, dried foods for special medical purposes intended for infants below 6 months of age and dried follow-on formulae)Cronobacter spp. (Enterobacter sakazakii) | Absent in 10 g (only if added to dried infant formulae and dried foods for special medical purposes intended for infants below 6 months of age)note
