enthaltenes

Enthaltenes is a neuter singular attributive adjective form of the German verb enthalten, meaning contained or included. It is used to describe something that is part of or present within another object, such as a substance, component, or ingredient. The form varies with article use: without a determiner the strong ending -es is used (enthaltenes Fett), while with a definite article the weak ending -e appears (das enthaltene Fett).

Uses and contexts

Enthaltenes is common in nutrition, chemistry, and product labeling to indicate what a product contains. Examples include fats, allergens, vitamins, or other ingredients: enthaaltenes Fett, enthaltene Zusatzstoffe, or equivalent phrases in consumer information. The term can also appear in more technical texts when specifying components within mixtures or formulations.

Morphology and grammar

- No determiner: neuter singular nominative or accusative uses enthaltene s (enthaltenes Fett).

- With a determiner: neuter singular uses enthaltene (das enthaltene Fett).

- Plural forms follow the same pattern without/with determiners (enthaltene Stoffe; die enthaltenen Stoffe).

- It remains an adjective; when used as a noun, German would typically use a noun form or rephrase (for example, das Enthaltene as a nominalized phrase).

Relation to related terms

Enthalten is the verb “to contain.” For general discussions of content, the related noun Inhalt or the plural Inhaltsstoffe (ingredients) are more common in everyday usage and labeling. In labeling, phrases like Nährwerte, Allergene, and Inhaltsstoffe often replace or complement enthaltene descriptors.

In summary, enthaltendes is the neuter singular form used without an article, while enthaltene is used with a definite article; both convey that a substance or component is present within another object.
