據(jù)了解，這種食品酶是由芬氏纖維微菌菌株AE-AMT生產(chǎn)的，旨在用于麥芽三糖生產(chǎn)的淀粉加工中。

 

　　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)所提供的數(shù)據(jù)，評(píng)估小組得出結(jié)論，這種食品酶在預(yù)期使用條件下不會(huì)引起安全問(wèn)題。部分原文報(bào)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 Cellulosimicrobium funkei strain AE-AMT by Amano Enzyme Inc. The food enzyme is free from viable cells of the production organism. It is intended to be used in starch processing for maltotriose production. Since residual amounts of total organic solids (TOS) are removed by purification steps applied during starch processing, the estimation of a dietary exposure is considered unnecessary. Genotoxicity tests did not indicate a safety concern. The 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 at the highest dose of 230 mg TOS/kg body weight (bw) per day. Similarity of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to those of known allergens was searched and nine 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 is considered 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.
