PART 172_FOOD ADDITIVES PERMITTED FOR DIRECT ADDITION TO FOOD FOR HUMAN
CONSUMPTION--Table of Contents
Subpart I_Multipurpose Additives
Sec. 172.810 Dioctyl sodium sulfo suc cinate.
The food additive dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, which meets the
specifications of the Food Chemicals Codex, 3d Ed. (1981), pp. 102-104,
which is incorporated by reference (Copies may be obtained from the
National Academy Press, 2101 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC
20418, or may be examined at the National Archives and Records

may be safely used in food in accordance with the following prescribed
conditions:
(a) As a wetting agent in the following fumaric acid-acidulated
foods: Dry gelatin dessert, dry beverage base, and fruit juice drinks,
when standards of identity do not preclude such use. The labeling of the
dry gelatin dessert and dry beverage base shall bear adequate directions
for use, and the additive shall be used in such an amount that the
finished gelatin dessert will contain not in excess of 15 parts per
million of the additive and the finished beverage or fruit juice drink
will contain not in excess of 10 parts per million of the additive.
(b) As a processing aid in sugar factories in the production of
unrefined cane sugar, in an amount not in excess of 0.5 part per million
of the additive per percentage point of sucrose in the juice, syrup, or
massecuite being processed, and so used that the final molasses will
contain no more than 25 parts per million of the additive.
(c) As a solubilizing agent on gums and hydrophilic colloids to be
used in food as stabilizing and thickening agents, when standards of
identity do not preclude such use. The additive is used in an amount not
to exceed 0.5 percent by weight of the gums or hydrophilic colloids.
(d) As an emulsifying agent for cocoa fat in noncarbonated beverages
containing cocoa, whereby the amount of the additive does not exceed 25
parts per million of the finished beverage.
(e) As a dispersing agent in ``cocoa with dioctyl sodium
sulfosuccinate for manufacturing'' that conforms to the provisions of
Sec. 163.117 of this chapter and the use limitations prescribed in
Sec. 172.520, in an amount not to exceed 0.4 percent by weight thereof.
(f) As a processing aid and wetting agent in combination with
[alpha]-hydro-omega -hydroxy - poly(oxyethylene) - poly-(oxypropylene)
(53-59 moles) poly(oxyethylene) (14-16 moles) block copolymer, having a
molecular weight range of 3,500-4,125 and a cloud point of 9 [deg]C-12
[deg]C in 10 percent aqueous solution, for fumaric acid used in fumaric
acid-acidulated dry beverage base and in fumaric acid-acidulated fruit
juice drinks, when standards of identity do not preclude such use. The
labeling of the dry beverage base shall bear adequate directions for
use, and the additives shall be used in such an amount that the finished
beverage or fruit juice drink will contain not in excess of a total of
10 parts per million of the dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate-block
copolymer combination.
