食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 2023年1月20日,歐盟食品安全局就一種β-半乳糖苷酶(β-galactosidase)的安全性評價發(fā)布意見。
據(jù)了解,這種食品酶是由非轉(zhuǎn)基因乳酸克魯維酵母菌株GD-YNL生產(chǎn)的,旨在用于牛奶加工、發(fā)酵乳制品生產(chǎn)和乳清加工中的乳糖水解,也可用于家庭乳制品中的乳糖水解。
經(jīng)過評估,專家小組認為,在預(yù)期的使用條件下,不能排除飲食暴露引起過敏反應(yīng)的風(fēng)險,但這種可能性被認為很低。根據(jù)所提供的數(shù)據(jù),評估小組得出結(jié)論,這種食品酶在預(yù)期使用條件下不會引起安全問題。部分原文報道如下:
The food enzyme β-galactosidase (β-D-galactoside galactohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.23) is produced with the non-genetically modified Kluyveromyces lactis strain GD-YNL by Godo Shusei Co., Ltd. The food enzyme is intended to be used for the hydrolysis of lactose in milk processing, production of fermented milk products and whey processing. The food enzyme is also intended for lactose hydrolysis in milk products at home. Dietary exposure to the food enzyme–total organic solids (TOS) was estimated to be up to 54 mg TOS/kg body weight per day in European populations. As the production strain qualifies for the qualified presumption of safety approach of safety assessment and as no issue of concern raised from the production process, no toxicological studies other than assessment of allergenicity were necessary. A search for the similarity of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to known allergens was made and no match was found. The Panel considered that, under the intended conditions of use, the risk of allergic reactions by dietary exposure cannot be excluded, but the likelihood is low. based on the data provided, the Panel concluded that this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns under the intended conditions of use.
