Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an INS number and an E number?
INS (International Numbering System) numbers are set by the Codex Alimentarius and used in India, Asia and most export markets. E numbers are the same codes as used in the European Union, with an "E" in front. For example, citric acid is INS 330 and E330. FSSAI labels in India use INS numbers.
What is INS 575?
INS 575 (E575) is glucono delta lactone (GDL). It is a slow-acting acidifier and leavening acid, used in tofu, paneer-style products, bakery mixes and meat products. We supply food-grade GDL in bulk.
What is INS 451(i)?
INS 451(i) (E451(i)) is sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP). It is a sequestrant that helps meat, seafood and processed foods hold moisture. We manufacture STPP at our Bawana, Delhi plant.
What is INS 450(i)?
INS 450(i) (E450(i)) is sodium acid pyrophosphate (SAPP), a leavening acid for baking powder, cakes and batters. It is also used in processed potatoes to keep their colour.
Is E955 (sucralose) halal and vegan?
Sucralose is made from sugar and does not use animal-derived raw materials. Halal status depends on the certificate of the specific supply, so ask us for the current Halal certificate and its product scope before you order.
What is INS 961?
INS 961 (E961) is neotame, a high-intensity sweetener about 7,000 to 13,000 times sweeter than sugar, used in very small amounts in beverages, dairy and table-top sweeteners.
What is INS 334?
INS 334 (E334) is L-tartaric acid, an acidifier and sequestrant used in confectionery, beverages, wine and baking powders.
Do you send a COA with these additives?
Yes. Every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis. TDS, MSDS and regulatory declarations are available on request for each product on this list.
