食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 2024年11月8日,歐盟食品安全局就一種α-淀粉酶(α-amylase)的安全性評價發(fā)布意見。
經(jīng)過評估,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敏反應(yīng)的風(fēng)險,但這種可能性被認(rèn)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 α-amylase (4-α-d-glucan glucanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.1) is produced with the non-genetically modified microorganism Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain UN-01 by Nagase (Europa) GmbH. The production strain qualified for the qualified presumption of safety approach and no issues of concern arose from the production process of the food enzyme, therefore, the Panel considered that toxicological studies were unnecessary. It is intended to be used in five food manufacturing processes. Since residual amounts of total organic solids (TOS) are removed during two processes, dietary exposure was calculated only for the remaining three food manufacturing processes. It was estimated to be up to 0.434 mg TOS/kg body weight per day in European populations. A search for homology of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to known allergens was made and one match with a respiratory allergen was found. Known sources of food allergens were used in the food enzyme manufacturing process. The Panel considered that the risk of allergic reactions upon dietary exposure to this food enzyme cannot be excluded. 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.
