| content analysis | accurately measure the sample about: lml, and measure according to aldehyde determination method (OT-6). The equivalent factor (e) in the calculation is 53.05. From this, the aldehyde content calculated by benzaldehyde is obtained. |
| toxicity | LD50960 mg/kg. GRAS(FDA,§ 182.20, need to be treated or re-steamed to remove cyaneic acid, 2000). |
| usage limit | FEMA(mg/kg): soft drink 80; Cold drink 66; Candy 97; Baked food 96; Pudding 29; Gum sugar 330; Malakins cherry 340. |
