The additive sorbitan monolaurate consists of sorbitol (and its anhydrides) esterified with fatty acids derived from coconut oil. It is intended to be used as a technological additive, functional group: emulsifier, in feedingstuffs for all animal species, at a maximum concentration of 85 mg/kg complete feed. The EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) concluded that sorbitan monolaurate is safe for all animal species at the proposed maximum content of 85 mg/kg complete feed and that the use of sorbitan monolaurate in animal nutrition is not expected to pose a risk for the consumer under the proposed conditions of use. Users are unlikely to be exposed to sorbitan monolaurate via inhalation. Sorbitan monolaurate is irritant to skin and eyes and it is not considered a skin sensitiser. Owing the lack of data, the FEEDAP Panel cannot conclude on the safety of the additive for the environment. Sorbitan monolaurate is authorised for use as a food additive with the function of emulsifier. The technological effect underlying its use as a food additive could reasonably be expected to be seen when used in feed.
聚山梨醇酯单月桂酸酯由山梨醇（及其酸酐）与来源于椰子油的脂肪酸酯化而成。它拟用作技术添加剂，功能类别为乳化剂，用于所有动物种类的饲料，在全价饲料中的最大浓度为85毫克/千克。欧洲食品安全局动物饲料添加剂和产品或物质专家委员会（FEEDAP）得出结论，在建议的全价饲料最大含量85毫克/千克时，聚山梨醇酯单月桂酸酯对所有动物种类都是安全的，并且在建议的使用条件下，在动物营养中使用聚山梨醇酯单月桂酸酯预计不会对消费者构成风险。使用者不太可能通过吸入接触到聚山梨醇酯单月桂酸酯。聚山梨醇酯单月桂酸酯对皮肤和眼睛有刺激性，且不被视为皮肤致敏剂。由于缺乏数据，FEEDAP专家委员会无法就该添加剂对环境的安全性得出结论。聚山梨醇酯单月桂酸酯被批准用作具有乳化剂功能的食品添加剂。当其用于饲料时，可以合理预期会看到其作为食品添加剂所具有的技术效果。
