據(jù)了解，這種食品酶是由非轉(zhuǎn)基因戴爾根霉菌株CU634-1775生產(chǎn)的，旨在用于六種食品制造過(guò)程：烘焙過(guò)程、生產(chǎn)葡萄糖漿和其他淀粉水解產(chǎn)物的淀粉加工、果汁生產(chǎn)的水果和蔬菜加工、果汁以外產(chǎn)品的水果和蔬菜加工、釀造過(guò)程和蒸餾酒精生產(chǎn)。

經(jīng)過(guò)評(píng)估，專(zhuān)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)，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 glucan-1,4-α-glucosidase (4-α-d-glucan glucohydrolase; EC 3.1.2.3) is produced with the non-genetically modified Rhizopus delemar strain CU634-1775 by Shin Nihon Chemical Co., Ltd. The food enzyme is free from viable cells of the production strain. It is intended to be used in six food manufacturing processes: baking processes, starch processing for production of glucose syrups and other starch hydrolysates, fruit and vegetable processing for juice production, fruit and vegetable processing for products other than juices, brewing processes and distilled alcohol production. As residual amounts of total organic solids (TOS) are removed by distillation and by the purification steps applied during the production of glucose syrups, dietary exposure was not calculated for these two food processes. For the remaining four food processes, dietary exposure to the food enzyme-total organic solids was estimated to be up to 1.238 mg TOS/kg body weight (bw) per day. Genotoxicity tests did not raise a safety concern. 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 1,735 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 1,401. In a search for the similarity of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to known allergens, a single match with a respiratory allergen was found. The Panel considered that, under the intended conditions of use, 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 this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns under the intended conditions of use.
