Safety evaluation of an extension of use of the food enzyme leucyl aminopeptidase from the non-genetically modified <i>Lichtheimia ramosa</i> strain AE-PER.

ABSTRACT: The food enzyme leucyl aminopeptidase (AMP aminohydrolase; EC 3.4.11.1) is produced with the non-genetically modified Lichtheimia ramosa strain AE-PER by Amano Enzyme Inc. A safety evaluation of this food enzyme was made previously, in which EFSA concluded that this food enzyme did not give rise to safety concerns when used in five food manufacturing processes. Subsequently, the applicant has requested to extend its use to include seven additional processes and to revise the use levels. In this assessment, EFSA updated the safety evaluation of this food enzyme when used in a total of 12 food manufacturing processes. As the food enzyme-total organic solids (TOS) are removed in one food manufacturing process, the dietary exposure to the food enzyme-TOS was estimated for the remaining
