E1201 Polyvinylpyrrolidone — is it halal?
Description
A synthetic polymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone: a thickener, stabiliser, carrier and tablet binder; a clarifying agent for beer, wine and vinegar (USA). The monomer is petrochemical (acetylene, formaldehyde, ammonia); a bio-route to its precursors exists but is not confirmed for PVP. The main route is polymerisation in water (hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, copper).
