COMBINED COMPENDIUM OF FOOD ADDITIVE SPECIFICATIONS

The decision was made to prepare an updated second edition of FNP 52 to include all food additive specifications prepared by JECFA through its sixty-fifth meeting in 2005. It was further decided that an updated and revised version of FNP 5 would not be published separately as before, but would be incorporated into the FNP 52 Compendium second edition.
The new Compendium of Food Additive Specifications is therefore now comprised of four volumes. The first three volumes are the food additive specifications themselves in alphabetical order. This fourth volume includes the revised and updated analytical methods, test procedures and laboratory solutions which first appeared in FNP 5, plus newer procedures and an expanded section on laboratory instrumentation.
