So, what is e1000?
E1000 is an E-number that refers to cholic acid, a food additive used primarily as an emulsifier and foam stabilizer. It is a naturally occurring bile acid produced commercially by extracting the compound from bovine bile, which is collected as a byproduct of cattle slaughterhouse operations.
Food processors mainly utilize cholic acid to stabilize foams, meaning it appears most frequently in dried egg white products, meringues, and certain specialty baked goods. It can also appear in dessert mixes, processed fats, and confectionery items where precise emulsification is required.
E1000 is not vegan because it is derived entirely from animals. The commercial production of this additive relies directly on bovine bile taken from slaughtered livestock, making any food product listing E1000 unsuitable for a vegan diet.
