E1414Acetylated distarch phosphate
E1414 is acetylated distarch phosphate. In Appendix 1 of Circular 24/2019/TT-BYT it is listed with the functions: emulsifier, stabilizer, thickener.
Did you know? Acetylated distarch phosphate is starch that is both cross-linked with sodium trimetaphosphate or phosphorus oxychloride and esterified with acetic anhydride or vinyl acetate.

Is acetylated distarch phosphate harmful?
In 2017 EFSA re-evaluated 12 modified starches, including E1414. It concluded that there is no safety concern at the reported uses and use levels for the general population and no need for a numerical ADI. At the 95th percentile (brand-loyal scenario), combined intake of E1404–E1451 was up to 3,053 mg/kg body weight a day, in toddlers.
Is E1414 permitted in Vietnam?
Yes. Acetylated distarch phosphate (INS 1414) is listed in Appendix 1 of Circular 24/2019/TT-BYT, the list of additives permitted in food.
Can children and pregnant women have E1414?
In 2017 EFSA concluded that the available data did not allow an adequate assessment of the safety of E1414 in dietary foods for babies and young children for special medical purposes (category 13.1.5.2) at the maximum level then authorised, 50,000 mg/kg. EFSA noted that children eating these foods may be more susceptible to gastrointestinal effects because of their underlying medical condition. The source says nothing specific about pregnant women. If you have a particular health condition, ask a doctor.
