據(jù)了解，這種食品酶是由非轉(zhuǎn)基因Burkholderia stagnalis 菌株 PL266-QLM生產(chǎn)的，旨在用于奶酪生產(chǎn)的牛奶加工以及通過酯交換作用對脂肪和油的改性中。

 

　　經(jīng)過評估，專家小組認(rèn)為，在預(yù)期的使用條件下，不能排除通過飲食接觸引起過敏反應(yīng)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，但這種情況發(fā)生的可能性很低。由于存在傳播AMR基因的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，使用這種食品酶被認(rèn)為是不安全的。部分原文報(bào)道如下：

 

　　The food enzyme triacylglycerol lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase EC 3.1.1.3) is produced with the non-genetically modified Burkholderia stagnalis strain PL266-QLM by Meito Sangyo CO., LTD. The production strain harbours genes conferring resistance to highly important antimicrobials for human and veterinary medicine. The food enzyme is free from viable cells of the production organism, but not of its DNA. Therefore, the food enzyme poses a risk of promoting the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. It is intended to be used in milk processing for cheese production and modification of fats and oils by interesterification. Since residual amounts of total organic solids (TOS) are removed in the downstream processing of the oils, dietary exposure was calculated only for the milk processing for cheese production. Dietary exposure to the food enzyme–TOS was estimated to be up to 0.663 mg TOS/kg body weight (bw) per day in European populations. 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 of 2,756 mg TOS/kg bw per day in males, the highest dose tested, which, when compared with the estimated dietary exposure, resulted in a margin of exposure of at least 4,157. A search for the similarity of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to known allergens was made and no match 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. As there is a risk of spreading AMR genes, the use of this food enzyme could not be considered safe.
