據(jù)了解，這種食品酶是由非轉(zhuǎn)基因長野解普魯蘭桿菌（Pullulanibacillus naganoensis)菌株AE-PL生產(chǎn)的，旨在用于8種食品生產(chǎn)過程。

 

　　經(jīng)過評估，專家小組得出結(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 pullulanase (pullulan 6-α-glucanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.41) is produced with the non-genetically modified Pullulanibacillus naganoensis strain AE-PL by Amano Enzyme Inc. A safety evaluation of this food enzyme was made previously, in which EFSA concluded that this food enzyme did not give rise to safety concerns when used in one food manufacturing process. Subsequently, the applicant has requested to extend its use to include seven additional processes and to revise the previous use level. In this assessment, EFSA updated the safety evaluation of this food enzyme when used in a total of eight food manufacturing processes. As the food enzyme-total organic solids (TOS) are not carried into the final foods in two food manufacturing processes, the dietary exposure was estimated only for the remaining six processes. The dietary exposure was calculated to be up to 0.004 mg TOS/kg body weight (bw) per day in European populations. The Panel evaluated the repeated dose 90-day oral toxicity study in rats submitted in the previous application and identified a no observed adverse effect level of 643 mg TOS/kg bw per day, the highest dose tested. When compared with the calculated dietary exposure, this resulted in a margin of exposure of at least 160,750. based on the data provided for the previous evaluation and the revised margin of exposure in the present evaluation, the Panel concluded that this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns under the revised intended conditions of use.
