Does anyone know?!


Question:

Does anyone know?

what esther of wood rosin is? It is an ingredient in Sunkist Orange soda. Is it bad for you? I read the ingredients after I drank it and it's like I have an after taste of wood. (Don't be naughty with that one please-haha). Sunkist is the only brand of orange soda with caffeine in it and that's why I bought it. Gotta stay up to drink some beers tonight-Happy Friday!
Thanks in advance...

Well, According to the Coca-Cola company, ester of wood rosin is a substance made from a tree sap. It is used to keep citrus oil from rising to the top of the drink. Without it, the drink would have a layer of citrus oil at the top, when you opened it, much like milk had a layer of cream on the top before homogenization was invented. The ester is a flaky powder that has been "purified" to meet FDA requirements. Sounds appetizing!

Rosin is what I use on my Violin bow. I've never licked it.

It is an ingredient in Sunkist orange Soda

It's a Plant Product like Gum Arabic,coconut oil,Acacia Gum.

The glycerol ester of wood rosin is used as a stabilizer for flavoring oils in selected fruit-flavored beverages. This stabilizer weighs down the oils and keeps them in solution. The actual content of the glycerol ester of wood oil in our finished product is at no more than 100 parts per million. This concentration meets FDA (Food & Drug Administration) regulations. According to our flavor supplier, glycerol ester of wood rosin is one of the most natural of the approved FDA ingredients to perform as stabilizers in fruit-flavored beverages

I don't think there actually putting Wood Rosin in it but the smell of it. And its all because of those Crafty Little ALIEN'S. Those little Red Devils from Mars I have to tell you caused GLOBAL COOLING of the 1970's. Canada was steadily being overcome by the Polar Ice Cap and it was headed right for Miami Florida. But with the Help of the Inventor of the Internet "Al Gore" we were finally able to Stop'em....

The ingredient is Glycerol ester of wood rosin. It is a food additive used as a stabilizer to keep oils in suspension in water.
