Sucrose Esters & Sucroglycerides
E473–E474
E473, E474, sucrose esters, sucrose esters of fatty acids, sucrose fatty acid esters, sucroglycerides
What it is
A pair of emulsifier/texturiser entries in the current EU list: sucrose esters of fatty acids (E473) and sucroglycerides (E474).
Why BOTIA flags it
BOTIA groups E473–E474 because the original audit range E473–E475 crosses into a different family: E475 is polyglycerol esters of fatty acids and is covered separately. Keeping the range precise prevents one ingredient family from swallowing another.
BOTIA CAN
- Detect E473, E474, sucrose esters of fatty acids and sucroglycerides.
- Show the texture and E-number context while keeping E475 in the polyglycerol-esters card.
BOTIA CANNOT
- Determine concentration or the fatty-acid composition from the ingredient name.
- Classify E475 as a sucrose ester.
