SECTION 22: CRITICAL WARNINGS AND BEST PRACTICES
CRITICAL WARNINGS:
Not classified as hazardous under GHS. Non-toxic, non-carcinogenic. FDA GRAS status.
Food additive E412 – Approved by EFSA, FDA, and WHO JECFA.
Hygroscopic – absorbs moisture from air. Store in tightly closed, moisture-proof containers.
Dust may cause mechanical irritation to eyes, skin, and respiratory system. Use appropriate dust control measures.
Combustible (organic material). Keep away from open flames and high heat. Dust cloud may form explosive mixture.
High viscosity – provides high viscosity at low concentrations (0.5-1.0%); Overdosing results in overly thick products.
Cold water soluble – no heating required; Adequate mixing time (10-20 minutes) required for hydration.
Stable at pH 4-10 – acidic foods (pH <4) require higher dosage.
High doses – may cause gas, bloating, abdominal pain; Start with low doses.
