Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (E-1202) is a food supplement that appears later than the others, so it is not yet classified. It is a white powder with a slight, faint odor, used as a thickener and clarifier.
In the food industry, this additive is used in the production of wines, beers, juices to prevent protein polyphenolic precipitation.
E-1202 binds polyphenols, and this makes it possible to improve not only the colloidal stability of the drink, but also the taste becomes harmonious. Sometimes, polyvinylpolypyrrolidone prolongs the shelf life of the product, which, after treatment with the additive, must be filtered. E 1202 can also be used as a binder in biologically active additives in the form of tablets.
The study of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone has not been completed and there is no specific information about its effects on the human body.
