Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the food additive regulations to provide for the safe use of glycerol ester of tall oil rosin (GETOR) to adjust the density of citrus oils used in the preparation of beverages and to provide for the use of steam stripping as a purification method for producing glycerol ester of wood rosin, gum rosin, or tall oil rosin. This action is in response to a petition filed by Georgia-Pacific Resins, Inc.
