organoleptics  properties  safety  references    FEMA Index    Home Page
Notes :
The product called oakmoss resin or resinoid is the hot alcohol extract from the lichen, Evernia Prunastri. The product can be considered as an evaporated alcohol infusion of oakmoss. Ethyl alcohol is not exactly a selective solvent and, while the yield of extract is very high with this method, the extract contains also a great deal of chlorophyll and odorless ballast material which is not soluble even in cold alcohol.

 Notes :
 

For this material, for pragmatic reasons, restrictive levels allowed by the QRA for certain categories but actually being higher than those already in place before applying the QRA, will temporarily not be implemented until the end of a 5 year monitoring phase. At the end of the 5 years the position will be reevaluated again.

 

(1) IFRA would recommend that any material used to impart perfume or flavour in products intended for human ingestion should consist of ingredients that are in compliance with appropriate regulations for foods and food flavourings in the countries of planned distribution and, where these are lacking, with the recommendations laid down in the Code of Practice of IOFI (International Organisation of the Flavor Industry). Further information about IOFI can be found on its website (www.iofi.org).

 

(2) Category 11 includes all non-skin contact or incidental skin contact products. Due to the negligible skin contact from these types of products there is no justification for a restriction of the concentration of this fragrance ingredient in the finished product.

recommendation for oakmoss resin flavor usage levels up to :
