食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)歐盟食品安全局(EFSA)消息,2014年5月14日,歐盟食品安全局就轉(zhuǎn)基因米曲霉菌株生產(chǎn)的木聚糖酶發(fā)布意見(jiàn)。
歐盟專家組經(jīng)過(guò)評(píng)估得出結(jié)論認(rèn)為,由轉(zhuǎn)基因米曲霉菌株生產(chǎn)的木聚糖酶發(fā)生食物過(guò)敏反應(yīng)的可能性很低,因此不會(huì)造成安全問(wèn)題。
在審查了轉(zhuǎn)基因過(guò)程、生產(chǎn)工藝、組分以及生化數(shù)據(jù),以及毒理學(xué)數(shù)據(jù)之后,專家組認(rèn)為這種酶在特定使用條件下不會(huì)造成健康問(wèn)題。
部分原文報(bào)道如下:
Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Food Contact Material, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF Panel) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the food enzyme xylanase (endo-1,4-β-xylanase; EC 3.2.1.8) produced with the genetically modified Aspergillus oryzae strain NZYM-FB.
The CEF Panel considers that the likelihood of food allergic reactions to the xylanase produced with this genetically modified strain of Aspergillus oryzae is low and therefore does not raise safety concerns.
Based on the genetic modifications performed, the manufacturing process, the compositional and biochemical data provided and the toxicological studies, the Panel concluded that this food enzyme does not raise safety concern under the intended conditions of use.
