Naturex, Avignon, France, announced that a scientific opinion in support of a safety requested extension was released by the European Food Safety Association to the European Commission for Naturex’s Talin, a natural extract from the fruit Thaumatococcus Danielli. The extension will allow Talin to be used in an increasing number of applications including alcohol beverages to lift and rebalance the overall flavor of the product. It also will permit an increase of the currently approved maximum use level from 0.5 mg per liter to 5 mg per liter in flavored drinks, the company says.
