INCI of coconut milk / Goat milk yogurt

[Guest guest]

Thank-you !

I have bought one from the store ( used and thrown out ) and I have

used coconut milk straight from the coconut. As the coconut milk is an

extractiv am I correct to write:

cocos nucifera (coconut oil) and cocos nucifera (coconut milk) on my

label. ?

If I write them down separatly I will be able to put them in their correct

order according to

weight in the recipe.

I do have the same problem with goat milk yogurt.

According to the same place CAPRAE LAC is the correct name for goatmilk. But

what about goatmilk yogurt?

YOGURT is INCI name for " Naturally occuring substances, milk preparations,

yogurt "

How does one combine INCI names ? are there rules to go by when doing this ?

I would like to write CAPRAE YOGURT as the INCI for goat milk yoghurt, but I

have a feeling it should

just be YOGURT because since it is no longer a " milk " it can't be called

CAPRAE LAC. And in correct definition it is

a yogurt. Is the correct way to write it on my label ? yogurt ( goat milk

yogurt )

I do find INCI naming very confusing some times !

Thanks

, since you are in the EU you have two INCI options for coconut

milk. Firstly, according to the link Maurice provided, you can use

cocos nucifera. Just that, nothing in brackets. It covers most

coconut products, and is correct for labelling purposes. You can also

use cocos nucifera extract, which is listed in some EU INCI versions.

Again just that, no brackets. If you wish to use brackets to make

your label clearer to customers, then you must make it clear that the

bracket contents are not part of the 'correct' and legal labelling. I

have seen products that have an ingredient heading: Ingredients INCI

(English) - . Then the label can read Cocos Nucifera (Coconut milk)

etc. Personally I don't have space on my labels for all that!

Commercial coconut milks from a store may contain ingredients that are

not listed on the label, as they may be present in quantities that do

not require them to be listed according to food labelling regulations.

A common additive at less than 0.5% is the emulsifier polysorbate,

for example; I don't know if it is used as a processing aid (likely at

that concentration) or to prevent product separation. So do check

with the manufacturer; you can request a full specification.

Your goat yogurt question is a real poser! I am in agreement with

you, that the best option is caprae yogurt, both for accuracy and

because it is in the spirit of the other INCI listings. And because

frankly it has more label appeal than plain 'yoghurt'. I would use

that, even though technically it would be incorect.
