| Comments: | The Committee took into account the lack of systemic exposure to gum ghatti because of its high molecular
weight and polysaccharide structure, its lack of toxicity in short-term studies, the lack of concern for genotoxicity and
the absence of treatment-related adverse effects in studies of gum arabic and other polysaccharide gums with a
similar profile. The Committee concluded that gum ghatti is unlikely to be
of health concern and established an ADI “not specified” for gum ghatti that complies with the specifications. |
