Safety evaluation of the food enzyme endo-1,3(4)-β-glucanase from the non-genetically modified Rasamsonia composticola strain 427-FS.

ABSTRACT: The food enzyme endo-1,3(4)-β-glucanase (3-(1-3,1-4)-β-d-glucan 3(4)-glucanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.6) is produced with the non-genetically modified Rasamsonia composticola 427-FS strain by Kerry Ingredients & Flavours Ltd. The food enzyme is free from viable cells of the production organism. The food enzyme is intended to be used in six manufacturing processes, i.e. baking processes, other cereal-based processes, brewing processes, grain treatment for the production of starch and gluten fractions, distilled alcohol production and yeast processing. Since residual amounts of total organic solids (TOS) are removed by distillation and during grain processing, dietary exposure was calculated only for the remaining four processes. It was estimated to be up to 0.809 mg TOS/kg body weight (bw)
