Safety evaluation of the food enzyme with 4-α-d-{(1->4)-α-d-glucano}trehalose trehalohydrolase and (1->4)-α-d-glucan 1-α-d-glucosylmutase activities from the Gryllotalpicola ginsengisoli strain S34.

ABSTRACT: The food enzyme with 4-α-d-{(1->4)-α-d-glucano}trehalose trehalohydrolase ((4-α-d-[(1,4-α-d-glucano]trehalose glucanohydrolase (trehalose-producing)), EC 3.2.1.141) and (1->4)-α-d-glucan 1-α-d-glucosylmutase ((1,4)-α-d-glucan 1-α-d-glucosylmutase, EC 5.4.99.15) activities is produced with a non-genetically modified microorganism Gryllotalpicola ginsengisoli (formally Arthrobacter ramosus) by Hayashibara Co., Ltd. The applicant states that the food enzyme will not be placed on the open market, but will only be used in-house in starch processing for trehalose production. Since residual amounts of total organic solids are removed by the purification steps applied during the production of trehalose, toxicological studies were considered not necessary and no dietary exposure was c
