No. 27479–28–3）; n- hexadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride （CAS Reg. No. 122–18–9）; n- octadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride （CAS Reg. No. 122–19–0）; n- tetradecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride （CAS Reg. No. 139–08–2）; n- tetradecyl dimethyl ethylbenzyl ammonium chloride （CAS Reg. No. 27479–29–4）.

（d） The additive is applied to the sugar juice in the following quantities, based on the weight of the raw cane:
| Component | Parts per million |
| n- Dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride | 0.25–1.0 |
| n- Dodecyl dimethyl ethylbenzyl ammonium chloride | 3.4–13.5 |
| n- Hexadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride | 1.5–6.0 |
| n- Octadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride | 0.25–1.0 |
| n- Tetradecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride | 3.0–12.0 |
| n- Tetradecyl dimethyl ethylbenzyl ammonium chloride | 1.6–6.5 |
