食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據(jù)歐盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，10月24日歐盟食品安全局就胞磷膽堿（citicoline）作為新型食品配料的安全性發(fā)表科學(xué)意見。

    胞磷膽堿（citicoline）可用于中老年人食品補充劑，最大用量為500 mg/天；用于特殊營養(yǎng)用途食品的最大用量為250 mg/份；但不適合兒童食用。

    EFSA最后得出結(jié)論，按照提議的使用范圍及使用量，胞磷膽堿（citicoline）作為新型食品配料是安全的。

    部分原文報道如下：

    Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies （NDA） was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on citicoline as a novel food ingredient in the context of Regulation （EC） No 258/97. The novel food ingredient （NFI）， citicoline, is choline cytidine 5'-pyrophosphate （C14H26N4O11P2） with a minimum purity of 98.0 %.

    Available human studies do not raise safety concerns under the proposed conditions of use. The additional data presented by the applicant on safety in laboratory animals, although incomplete by modern standards, provides further reassurance on the safety of the NFI. The Panel concludes that the NFI, citicoline, is safe under the proposed uses and use levels.
