összetevben

Összetevben is a Hungarian inessive form of the noun összetevő, meaning a component or ingredient. It denotes location or inclusion, translating roughly to “in the ingredient” or “within the component.” The term is used when describing subparts within a larger mixture, formulation, or product composition.

Grammatically, összetevben is formed by adding the inessive suffix -ben to összetevő. It is a case form and functions within technical or regulatory texts rather than as a common everyday phrase. In ordinary language, speakers more often use összetevőként ("as an ingredient") or refer to the overall list of ingredients.

Usage contexts and relevance: The form appears mainly in precise descriptions found in labeling, pharmacological, chemical, or industrial documents where it is important to specify a substance’s presence inside a particular component. For example, one might say that an allergen is present in the ingredient, or that certain subcomponents within a mixture contain a specific compound.

Examples:

- Az összetevőben található allergénre a címkén külön figyelmeztetést adnak. (A warning about the allergen present in the ingredient appears on the label.)

- A termék összetevőben lévő diófélék miatt allergiásoknak nem ajánlott.
