食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  2019年12月6日，據(jù)歐盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，應(yīng)歐盟委員會要求，歐盟動物飼料添加劑和產(chǎn)品（FEEDAP）研究小組就一種從毛蕊花（Verbascum thapsus L.）中提取的酊劑作為所有動物物種的感官飼料添加劑的安全性和有效性發(fā)表科學(xué)意見。

 

　　據(jù)了解，該產(chǎn)品為水/乙醇溶液，干物質(zhì)含量約為2.8%。由于一些數(shù)據(jù)的缺乏，專家小組無法確定該添加劑的安全性。而該種添加劑的主要成分能夠在食品中作為風(fēng)味物質(zhì)，其在飼料中的作用基本相同，因此沒有必要證明其功效。部分原文報(bào)道如下：

 

　　Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed （FEEDAP） was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of a tincture from Verbascum thapsus L. （great mullein tincture） when used as a sensory feed additive for all animal species. The product is a water/ethanol （■■■■■） solution, with a dry matter content of approximately 2.8%. The product contains on average 0.216% polyphenols and 0.093% flavonoids. Since 82% of the dry matter fraction of the additive remains uncharacterised, the FEEDAP Panel cannot identify a safe level for the use of the additive for all animal species. Considering the uncertainty in the composition of the additive, and in the absence of information on the toxicological properties of the tincture, the FEEDAP Panel is unable to conclude on the safety for the consumers following the use of the tincture as flavouring in animal feed. No specific data were provided by the applicant regarding the safety of the additive for users. In the absence of data, no conclusions can be drawn on the additive's potential to be a dermal/eye irritant or a skin sensitiser. V. thapsus L. is native to Europe. Consequently, the use of a tincture derived from the plant at the maximum proposed dose is not considered to be a risk for the environment. Since the major components of the additive are recognised to provide flavour in food and its function in feed would be essentially the same, no demonstration of efficacy is considered necessary.
