specification in section S3—2 or section S3—3.
(2) However, for a mixture which contains no less than 950 g/kg of phytosterol and phytostanols, the concentration of hexane, isopropanol, ethanol, methanol or methyl ethyl ketone either singly or in combination must be no more than 2 g/kg.
(3) The *total plant sterol equivalents content must contain no less than 95% des-methyl sterols.
S3—25 Specification for quaternary amine cellulose ion exchange resin
(1) This specification relates to regenerated cellulose, cross-linked and alkylated with epichlorohydrin and propylene oxide, then derivatised with quaternary amine groups whereby the amount of epichlorohydrin plus propylene oxide is no more than 250% by weight of the starting amount of cellulose.
(2) The resins are limited to use in aqueous process streams for the isolation and purification of protein concentrates and isolates. The pH range for the resins shall be no less than 2 and no more than 10, and the temperatures of water and food passing through the resin bed must be no more than 50°C.
(3) When subjected to the extraction regime listed in the 21 CFR § 173.25(c)(4), but using dilute hydrochloric acid at pH 2 in place of 5% acetic acid, the ion exchange resins shall result in no more than 25 ppm of organic extractives.
S3—26 Specification for resistant maltodextrins

(i) phytosterol esters plus free phytosterols—no less than 97%; and
(ii) free phytosterols after saponification—no less than 59%; and
(iii) free phytosterols—no more than 6%; and
(iv) steradienes—no more than 0.3%;
(b) sterol profile based on input sterols:
(i) campesterol—no less than 4.0% and no more than 25.0%; and
(ii) campsteranol—no more than 14.0%; and
(iii) B-sitosterol—no less than 36.0% and no more than 79.0%; and
(iv) B-sitostanol—no less than 6.0% and no more than 34%; and
