據(jù)了解，這種食品酶是由轉(zhuǎn)基因米曲霉菌株NZYM-BU生產(chǎn)的，旨在用于五種食品生產(chǎn)過(guò)程。

 

　　經(jīng)過(guò)評(píng)估，專家小組認(rèn)為，在預(yù)期的使用條件下，不能排除飲食暴露引起過(guò)敏反應(yīng)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，但這種情況發(fā)生的可能性很低。根據(jù)所提供的數(shù)據(jù)，評(píng)估小組得出結(jié)論，這種食品酶在預(yù)期使用條件下不會(huì)引起安全問(wèn)題。部分原文報(bào)道如下：

 

　　The food enzyme leucyl aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.1) is produced with the genetically modified Aspergillus oryzae strain NZYM-BU by Novozymes A/S. The genetic modifications do not give rise to safety concerns. The food enzyme is free from viable cells of the production organism and its DNA. It is intended to be used in five food manufacturing processes. Dietary exposure to the food enzyme TOS was estimated to be up to 1.508 mg TOS/kg body weight (bw) per day in European populations. Genotoxicity tests did not indicate a safety concern. The systemic toxicity was assessed by means of a repeated dose 90-day oral toxicity study in rats. The Panel identified a no observed adverse effect level of 4,928 mg TOS/kg bw per day, the highest dose tested, which, when compared with the estimated dietary exposure, resulted in a margin of exposure of at least 3,268. 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 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 the food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns under the intended conditions of use.
