(2) Initial boiling point is 300 °F minimum.
(3) Final boiling point is 650 °F maximum.
(4) Ultraviolet absorbance limits determined by method specified in §178.3620(b)(1)(ii) of this chapter, as follows:
Wavelength mµ | Maximum absorbance per centimeter optical pathlength |
280–289 | 4.0 |
290–299 | 3.3 |
300–329 | 2.3 |
330–360 | 0.8 |
(c) The additive is used as follows:
Use | Limitations |
As a coating on shell eggs | In an amount not to exceed good manufacturing practice. |
As a defoamer in processing beet sugar and yeast | Complying with §173.340 of this chapter. |
As a float on fermentation fluids in the manufacture of vinegar and wine to prevent or retard access of air, evaporation, and wild yeast contamination during fermentation | In an amount not to exceed good manufacturing practice. |
