Sec. 189.145 Dulcin.
(a) Dulcin is the chemical 4-ethoxyphenylurea,
C9H12N2O2. It is a synthetic
chemical having a sweet taste about 250 times that of sucrose, is not
found in natural products at levels detectable by the official
methodology, and has been proposed for use as an artificial sweetener.
(b) Food containing any added or detectable level of dulcin is
deemed to be adulterated in violation of the act, based upon an order
published in the Federal Register of January 19, 1950 (15 FR 321).
(c) The analytical methods used for detecting dulcin in food are in
sections 20.173-20.176 of the ``Official Methods of Analysis of the
Association of Official Analytical Chemists,'' 13th Ed. (1980), which is
incorporated by reference. Copies may be obtained from the AOAC
