| COE No.: | 431 | FEMA No.: | 2083 | JECFA No.: | 939 | Chemical names: | 3-METHYLBUTYL 2-OXOPROPANOATE | Synonyms: | ISOPENTYL PYRUVATE; ISOAMYL PYRORACEMATE | Functional class: | FLAVOURING AGENT | Latest evaluation: | 2002 | ADI: | ACCEPTABLE | Comments: | No safety concern at current levels of intake when used as a flavouring agent. Note: At the fifty-seventh meeting (2001), this substance was mistakenly included in the evaluation of aliphatic acyclic diols, triols and related substances, even though there was no information on its current use as a flavouring agent.

The Committee confirmed that there is no safety concern in relation to the use of isoamyl pyruvate as a flavouring agent. | Report: | TRS 913-JECFA 59/118 | Specifications: | COMPENDIUM ADDENDUM 9/FNP 52 Add.9/152 (2001) | Tox monograph: | FAS 48-JECFA 57/333 (2001) | Previous status: | 2001, TRS 909-JECFA 57/98, COMPENDIUM ADDENDUM 9/FNP 52 Add.9/152, FAS 48-JECFA 57/333.
