Safety evaluation of the food enzyme pectinesterase from the genetically modified Trichoderma reesei strain RF6201.

ABSTRACT: The food enzyme pectinesterase (pectin pectylhydrolase; EC 3.1.1.11) is produced with the genetically modified Trichoderma reesei strain RF6201 by AB Enzymes GmbH. The genetic modifications do not give rise to safety concerns. The food enzyme was considered free from viable cells of the production organism and its DNA. It is intended to be used in five food manufacturing processes: fruit and vegetable processing for juice production, fruit and vegetable processing for products other than juices, production of wine and wine vinegar, coffee demucilation and production of plant extracts as flavouring preparations. Since residual amounts of the total organic solids (TOS) are removed during the coffee demucilation and the production of flavouring extracts, dietary exposure was calculated
