Number of additives / E-numbers: 6 – e321,e322 (Soy lecithin E322 is generally safe food additive. Because it’s present in such small amounts in food, it’s unlikely to be harmful. Though evidence supporting soy lecithin as supplement is somewhat limited, the evidence backing choline could steer people toward this food additive in supplement form),e420 (E420(i) and E420(ii) are food additives approved by the EU (European Union) and used as natural sweeteners in food and Drink products. The common names for E420(i) and E420(ii) are sorbitol, and sorbitol syrup, respectively. These sweeteners are natural carbohydrate alcohols obtained from berries. They can also be produced synthetically from glucose. These low calorie sweeteners are also used as bulking agents and stabilisers. E420 is absorbed by the body. Some of it is metabolised as fructose, while the rest undergoes fermentation in the large intestine. E420 may cause diarrhoea in infants younger than one year. These sweeteners may also cause flatulence, due to gases released during fermentation),e420i,e421,e422,e951 (Aspartame is an artificial non-saccharide sweetener 200 times sweeter than sucrose, and is commonly used as sugar substitute in foods and beverages. It is methyl ester of the aspartic acid/phenylalanine dipeptide with the trade names NutraSweet, Equal, and Canderel. Aspartame was first made in 1965 and approved for use in food products by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1981. Many aspects of industrial synthesis of aspartame were established by Ajinomoto. In 2004, the market for aspartame, in which Ajinomoto, the world’s largest aspartame manufacturer, had 40 percent share, was 14,000 metric tons year, and consumption of the product was rising by 2 percent year. Ajinomoto acquired its aspartame business in 2000 from Monsanto for $67M. Because sucralose, unlike aspartame, retains its sweetness after being heated, and has at least twice the shelf life of aspartame, it has become more popular as an ingredient. This, along with differences in marketing and changing consumer preferences, caused aspartame to lose market share to sucralose. In 2004, aspartame traded at about $30/kg and sucralose, which is roughly three times sweeter by weight, at around $300/kg)
