Safety evaluation of the food enzyme triacylglycerol lipase from non-genetically modified Limtongozyma cylindracea strain MS-5-OF.

ABSTRACT: The food enzyme triacylglycerol lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3) is produced with the non-genetically modified yeast Limtongozyma cylindracea strain MS-5-OF by Meito Sangyo Co., Ltd. The food enzyme is free from viable cells of the production organism. It is intended to be used in five food manufacturing processes: brewing processes, baking processes, milk processing for cheese production, production of free fatty acids by hydrolysis and production of flavouring preparations from dairy products. Dietary exposure to the food enzyme-total organic solids (TOS) was estimated to be up to 1.033 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
