1.1 Introduction<br />

The Committee evaluated a group <strong>of</strong> flavouring agents consisting <strong>of</strong><br />

20 aliphatic branched-chain saturated and unsaturated alcohols, aldehydes, acids<br />

and related esters. This group included 2 alcohols (Nos 1830 and 1832),<br />

2 aldehydes (Nos 1817 and 1819), 2 acids (Nos 1818 and 1825) and 14 related<br />

esters (Nos 1815, 1816, 1820–1824, 1826–1829, 1831, 1833 and 1834). The <strong>evaluation</strong>s<br />
