Comparing E943A - Butane vs E946 - octafluorocyclobutane

Overview

E943A - Butane

Butane (E943a) is a food-grade liquefied gas used mainly as a propellant in aerosol products like whipped cream and cooking sprays. It flashes off quickly after dispensing, so only tiny amounts, if any, remain in the food under normal use. Regulators in the EU and U.S. allow its use when it meets strict purity rules.
