Starch aluminium octenyl succinate
Other names SAOS, E1452
Starch aluminium octenyl succinate: moderate in nickel. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- NickelModerate
Starch aluminium octenyl succinate is a starch modified with an aluminium salt, used to hold emulsions together. The starch carries nothing; the aluminium reagent is where the trace nickel comes from. One thing to weigh, from the regulation that governs it: nickel is a stated purity criterion for E 555 potassium aluminium silicate and for NO other silicate — not for this one. The metals routinely capped here are arsenic, lead, mercury and cadmium. Nickel travels with aluminium and clay out of the ore, and the law corroborates nothing about it for this particular additive.

E1452 does the same emulsifying job as E1450 but with aluminium in the molecule, and it is used to encapsulate flavours and vitamins in powders. On this axis it is starch and the answer is none; the aluminium is a real question, and it belongs to a different axis of this app rather than to this one.

E1452 is the aluminium version of the same emulsifying starch, used to encapsulate flavours in powders. The aluminium is a question for another axis; the carbohydrate is a polysaccharide and answers none here.
