Safety evaluation of the food enzyme endo-polygalacturonase from the non-genetically modified Aspergillus tubingensis strain MUCL 55013.

ABSTRACT: The food enzyme endo-polygalacturonase ((1→4)-α-d-galacturonan glycanohydrolase (endo-cleaving); EC 3.2.1.15)) is produced with the non-genetically modified Aspergillus tubingensis strain MUCL 55013 by Soufflet Biotechnologies. The food enzyme is free from viable cells of the production organism. It is intended to be used in 10 food manufacturing processes: processing of fruits and vegetables for the production of juices, other fruit and vegetable products, wine, distilled spirits from wine, alcoholic beverages other than grape wine; processing of plant-derived products for the production of refined and unrefined sugar, edible oils from plants, green coffee beans by demucilation, coffee extracts and tea and other herbal and fruit infusions.
