This publication is one of three volumes comprising the combined food additive specifications prepared by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) during 65 meetings held during the years 1956 to 2005. The objectives of these specifications are to identify additives subjected to safety testing, to ensure quality standards required for use in food or in processing, and to reflect and encourage good manufacturing practice. The other volumes are: Vol. 1: additives A-D (ISBN 9251053928); Vol. 3: additives P-Z (ISBN 9251053944).
