Safety evaluation of the food enzyme with β‐glucanase and β‐xylanase activities from the Trichoderma reesei strain DP‐Nya67

ABSTRACT: Abstract The food enzyme with β‐glucanase and β‐xylanase (4‐β‐d‐xylan xylanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.8) activities is produced with the non‐genetically modified Trichoderma reesei (strain DP‐Nya67) by DuPont. The food enzyme is intended to be used in brewing processes, grain treatment for the production of starch and gluten fractions, and distilled alcohol production. Since residual amounts of the food enzyme are removed by distillation and during grain treatment, dietary exposure was only calculated for brewing processes. Based on the maximum recommended use levels for brewing processes, dietary exposure to the food enzyme–Total Organic Solids (TOS) was estimated to be up to 4.585 mg TOS/kg body weight (bw) per day. Since the compositional data provided was insufficient to characterise the foo
