据了解，山梨醇酐月桂酸酯添加剂由山梨糖醇（及其酸酐）与椰子油中的脂肪酸酯化而成。经过评估，专家小组得出结论，山梨醇酐月桂酸酯对陆地和水生环境的风险不大，根据既定的使用条件，预计使用评估中的添加剂对环境不存在安全隐患。部分原文报道如下：
The additive sorbitan mo
nolaurate co
nsists of sorbitol （and its anhydrides esterified with fatty acids derived from coco
nut oil. It is currently authorised in the European unio and it is intended to be used as a technological additive （functio
nal group of emulsifiers）， in feedingstuffs for all animal species, at a maximum co
ncentration of 85 mg/kg complete feed. In 2019, the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed （FEEDAP issued an opinion on the safety and efficacy of sorbitan monolaurate. Owing the lack of data, the FEEDAP Panel could not co
nclude on the safety of the additive for the environment. The applicant submitted new data （fate and degradation as well as ecotoxicity data that were e
valuated in the present opinion. The absorption, distribution, me
tabolism and excretion of structurally related compounds （sorbitan mo
nostearate and sorbitan trioleate indicate that the additive is expected to be partially me
tabolised. In addition, sorbitan mo
nolaurate and some related compounds are readily biodegradable. The limited available data on the effects of sorbitan mo
nolaurate in marine crustaceans and in marine sediment indicate that the ecotoxicity of the additive is low, in co
nsistency with the very low acute toxicity of sorbitan esters. Overall, the FEEDAP Panel co
ncludes that a risk of sorbitan mo
nolaurate to terrestrial and aquatic enviro
nment is unlikely. Therefore, no safety co
ncerns for the enviro
nment are expected from the use of the additive under assessment according to the established co
nditions of use.
