据欧盟食品安全局消息,应欧委会的要求,欧盟食品安全局评估了胭脂树籽皮(annatto)提取物作为食品添加剂的安全性。

胭脂树籽皮提取物分为胭脂树橙(bixin)基与降胭脂树橙(norbixin)基。经过毒理学试验,欧盟食品安全局认为,胭脂树橙的adi设为6 mg /kg体重 /天,降胭脂树橙的adi设为0.3 mg /kg体重/天 较为合理。

部分原文报道如下:

following a request from the european commission to efsa, the efsa panel on food additives and nutrient sources added to food (ans) was asked to re-evaluate the safety of annatto extracts, bixin-based and norbixin-based, when used as a food additive and to evaluate the safety of aqueous-processed bixin (annatto e); solvent-extracted bixin (annatto b); alkali-processed norbixin, acid-precipitated (annatto f); alkali-processed norbixin, not acid-precipitated (annatto g) and solvent-extracted norbixin (annatto c) with the view to replac the currently authorised annatto extracts (e 160b)。
