Moderately toxic by intraperitoneal route. An emulsifying agent used as a food additive. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of NOx and SOx.
Taurocholic acid, known also as cholaic acid, cholyltaurine, or acidum cholatauricum, is a deliquescent yellowish crystalline bile acid involved in the emulsification of fats. It occurs as a sodium salt in the bile of mammals. It is a conjugate of cholic acid with taurine.
