Vegetable saps and extracts; pectic substances, pectinates and pectates; agar-agar and other mucilages and thickeners, whether or not modified, derived from vegetable products
In plain English
This category includes plant-based juices and extracts, along with substances like pectin and agar-agar that help thicken or gel mixtures, regardless of whether they have been chemically changed. The specific types of plant extracts are separated by their source, covering opium, liquorice, hops, ephedra, and other plants not listed elsewhere. The thickening agents are similarly divided based on their origin, distinguishing agar-agar, materials from locust or guar beans, and other vegetable-derived thickeners.
