1	18888	3-HYDROXYBUTANOIC ACID-3-HYDROXYPENTANOIC ACID, COPOLYMER	
		Definition	These copolymers are produced by the controlled fermentation of Alcaligenes eutrophus using mixtures of glucose and propanoic acid as carbon sources. The organism used has not been genetically engineered and has been derived from a single wild-type organism Alcaligenes eutrophus strain H16 NCIMB 10442. Master stocks of the organism are stored as freeze-dried ampoules. A submaster/ working stock is prepared from the master stock and stored in liquid nitrogen and used to prepare inocula for the fermenter. Fermenter samples will be examined daily both microscopically and for any changes in colonial morphology on a variety of agars at different temperatures. The copolymers are isolated from heat treatment bacteria by controlled digestion of the other cellular components, washing and drying. These copolymers are normally offered as formulated, melt formed granules containing additives such as nucleating agents, plasticisers, fillers, stabilisers and pigments which all conform to the general and individual specifications.
		Chemical name	Poly (3-D-hydroxybutanoato-co-3-D-hydroxypentanoate).
		CAS number	80181-31-3.
		Structural formula	where n/(m+n) greater than 0 and less or equal to 0.25
		Average molecular weight	Not less than 150,000 Daltons (measured by gel permeation chromatography).
		Assay	Not less than 98% poly (3-D-hydroxybutanoato-co-3-D-hydroxypentanoate) analysed after hydrolysis as a mixture of 3-D-hydroxybutanoic and 3-D-hydroxypentanoic acids.
		Description	White to off-white powder after isolation.
		Characteristics	
		Identification tests:	
		Solubility	Soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons such as chloroform or dichloromethane but practically insoluble in ethanol, aliphatic alkanes and water.
		Migration	The migration of crotonic acid should not exceed 0.05 mg/kg food.
		Purity	Prior to granulation the raw material copolymer powder must contain:
		—Nitrogen	Not more than 2,500 mg/kg of plastic
		—Zinc	Not more than 100 mg/kg of plastic
		—Copper	Not more than 5 mg/kg of plastic

Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn gweithredu Cyfarwyddeb y Comisiwn 1999/91/EC sy'n diwygio Cyfarwyddeb 90/128/EEC ynghylch deunyddiau ac eitemau plastig y bwriedir iddynt ddod i gysylltiad â bwydydd.

(a) yn diweddaru'r rhestr o fonomerau ac ychwanegion a all gael eu defnyddio wrth weithgynhyrchu deunyddiau ac eitemau plastig i ddod i gysylltiad â bwyd (rheoliadau 10 ac 11 ac Atodlenni 1 a 2);
(b) yn gosod cyfyngiadau a manylebau mewn perthynas â rhai o'r monomerau a'r ychwanegion hyn (rheoliadau 5(a), 6, 8, 10, 11 a 12 ac Atodlenni 1, 2 a 4); yn benodol, mae math newydd o gyfyngiad yn cael ei gyflwyno (y swm mwyaf o'r sylwedd a ganiateir yn y deunydd neu'r eitem orffenedig wedi'i fynegi mewn miligramau am bob 6 decimetr sgwâr o'r arwynebedd sydd mewn cysylltiad â'r bwyd);
(c) yn dod â chynhyrchion a geir drwy eplesu â bacteria o fewn cwmpas Rheoliadau 1998 ac yn gosod cyfyngiadau a manylebau ar gyfer cynhyrchion o'r fath (rheoliadau 4, 5(b), 7 a 12 ac Atodlen 3);
