Safety evaluation of the food enzyme cellulase from the non-genetically modified Aspergillus niger strain 294.

ABSTRACT: The food enzyme cellulase (4-(1,3;1,4)-β-d-glucan-4-glucanohydrolase; EC 3.1.2.4) is produced with the non-genetically modified Aspergillus niger strain 294 by Kerry Ingredients & Flavours Ltd. The food enzyme is considered free from viable cells of the production organism. The enzyme is intended to be used in eight food manufacturing processes: baking processes, cereal-based processes, brewing processes, grain treatment for the production of starch and gluten fractions, fruit and vegetable processing for juice production, fruit and vegetable processing for products other than juices, distilled alcohol production and wine and wine vinegar production. Since residual amounts of total organic solids (TOS) are removed during distilled alcohol production and grain treatment for the produ
