Anadon, Arturo published the artcileScientific opinion on Flavouring Group Evaluation 65 (FGE.65): consideration of sulfur-substituted furan derivatives used as flavouring agents evaluated by JECFA (59thmeeting) structurally related to a subgroup of substances within the group of “furfuryl and furan derivatives with and without additional side-chain substituents and heteroatoms from chemical group 14” evaluated by EFSA in FGE.13Rev1 (2009), Application of 2-Methyl-3-tetrahydrofuranthiol, the publication is EFSA Journal (2010), 8(7), 1406, 54 pp., database is CAplus.
The Scientific Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavorings and Processing Aids has been requested to consider the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (the JECFA) evaluations of flavoring substances assessed since 2000, and to decide whether no further evaluation is necessary, as laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The evaluation deals with 33 substances in the JECFA flavoring group of sulfur-substituted furan derivatives For 24 of the 33 JECFA evaluated sulfur-substituted furan derivatives the Panel agrees with JECFA conclusion ‘No safety concern at estimated levels of intake as flavoring substances’ based on the MSDI approach. They have reservations for nine substances: for eight substances data on the stereoisomeric composition/composition of the mixture has not been specified and for four substances addnl. toxicity data are needed.
EFSA Journal published new progress about 57124-87-5. 57124-87-5 belongs to tetrahydrofurans, auxiliary class Tetrahydrofuran,Thiol, name is 2-Methyl-3-tetrahydrofuranthiol, and the molecular formula is C5H10OS, Application of 2-Methyl-3-tetrahydrofuranthiol.
