食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 2021年6月11日,歐盟食品安全局就一種麥芽糖α-淀粉酶(maltogenic α-amylase)的安全性評(píng)價(jià)發(fā)布意見。
據(jù)了解,這種食品酶是由轉(zhuǎn)基因枯草芽孢桿菌菌株ROM生產(chǎn)的,旨在用于烘焙加工中。
經(jīng)過評(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敏和誘發(fā)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)提供的數(shù)據(jù),小組得出結(jié)論,該食品酶在預(yù)期的使用條件下不會(huì)引起安全隱患。部分原文報(bào)道如下:
The food enzyme maltogenic α-amylase (glucan 1,4-α-maltohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.133) is produced with the genetically modified Bacillus subtilis strain ROM by DSM Food Specialities B.V. The genetic modifications do not give rise to safety concerns. The maltogenic α-amylase is considered free from viable cells of the production organism and its recombinant DNA. The food enzyme is intended to be used in baking processes. based on the maximum use levels recommended for the baking processes and individual data from the EFSA Comprehensive European Food Database, dietary exposure to the food enzyme–total organic solids (TOS) was estimated to be up to 0.065 mg TOS/kg body weight (bw) per day. As the production strain of B. subtilis ROM qualifies for the Qualified Presumption of Safety approach to safety assessment and no issue of concern arose from the production process, no toxicological data are required. Similarity of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to those of known allergens was searched and six matches were found. The Panel considered that under the intended conditions of use, the risk of allergic sensitisation and elicitation reactions by dietary exposure cannot be excluded, but the likelihood for this to occur is considered to be 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.
