E536 - Potassium ferrocyanide: Prepared from hydrogen ferrocyanide and potassium hydroxide. Synthetic crystallising agent. Metal removal in wine, anti-caking agent, seasonings, spices. By-product of coal gas production; low toxicity, reduces oxygen transport in the blood, which in turn may cause breathing difficulties, dizziness or headache. Banned in the United States.
