Insecticons Food Additives Song
Descriptions: The Animaniacs Additives song, starring the Insecticons from G1 Transformers!
Children test tubes, nasty food additives
Description: Children are now “walking test tubes” due to dozens of nasty food additives and colorings. -Causing serious bad physical and emotional problems. See the startling improvement in these school kids in just two weeks when food colorings and additives were removed!
E1440 – Hydroxypropylstarch
E1440 – Hydroxypropylstarch
Description: Thickening agent. Prepared by treating starch with propyleneoxide. The resulting starch is more stable against acid, alkaline and starch degrading enzymes. It also provides better colour and shine to products.
Products: Many food products.
Side effects: It may slow down the degradation of food in the intestine.
E1441- Hydoxypropyl di-starch glycerol
E1441- Hydoxypropyl di-starch glycerol
Description: Thickening agent. Prepared by treating starch with propyleneoxide, epichlorhydrine and glycerol. The resulting starch is more stable against acid, alkaline and starch degrading enzymes. It also provides better colour and shine to products and is more stable after cooling.
Products: Many food products
Side effects: It may cause diarrhoea.
E1442 – Hydroxypropyl di-starch phosphate
E1442 – Hydroxypropyl di-starch phosphate
Description: Thickening agent. Prepared by treating starch with propyleneoxide and phosphoric acid. The resulting starch is more stable against acid, alkaline and starch degrading enzymes. It also provides better colour and shine to products and has very good freeze-thaw properties.
Products: Many food products
Side effects: It may slow down the degradation of food in the intestine
E1450 – Starch sodium octenyl succinate
E1450 – Starch sodium octenyl succinate
Description: Prepared by treating starch with octenylsuccinate. Thickening agent.
Products: Hardly used
Side effects: None known
1501 – Benzylated hydrocarbons
1501 – Benzylated hydrocarbons

Products: Many products; these compounds are also used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
Side effects: None known when used in foods. Skin problems may occur when used in cosmetics.
1501(i): Benzyl alcohol
1501(ii): Benzyl acetate
1501(iii): Benzyl benzoate
1502 – Butane 1,3-diol
1502 – Butane 1,3-diol
Description: It is commercially produced by chemical synthesis. Solvent for flavours.
Products: Tobacco products.
Side effects: None known when used in foods.
1,3-Butanediol is an organic chemical. It is commonly used as a solvent for food flavouring agents and is a co-monomer used in certain polyurethane and polyester resins. In biology, 1,3-butanediol is used as a hypoglycaemic agent.
E1503 – Castor Oil
1503 – Castor Oil
Description: Natural oil extracted from the seeds of Ricinus communis (castor bean) . Castor oil is a flavour component as well as a solvent for flavours.
Products: Flavoured sugar, lip products, etc.
Side effects: None known when used in foods.
Castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the castor bean (technically castor seed as the castor plant, Ricinus communis, is not a member of the bean family). Castor oil (CAS number 8001-79-4) is a colorless to very pale yellow liquid with mild or no odor or taste. Its boiling point is 313 °C (595 °F) and its density is 961 kg·m-3. It is a triglyceride in which approximately ninety percent of fatty acid chains are ricinoleic acid. Oleic and linoleic acids are the other significant components.
