Safety evaluation of the food enzyme glucan-1,4-α-glucosidase from the non-genetically modified Rhizopus delemar strain CU634-1775.

ABSTRACT: The food enzyme glucan-1,4-α-glucosidase (4-α-d-glucan glucohydrolase; EC 3.1.2.3) is produced with the non-genetically modified Rhizopus delemar strain CU634-1775 by Shin Nihon Chemical Co., Ltd. The food enzyme is free from viable cells of the production strain. It is intended to be used in six food manufacturing processes: baking processes, starch processing for production of glucose syrups and other starch hydrolysates, fruit and vegetable processing for juice production, fruit and vegetable processing for products other than juices, brewing processes and distilled alcohol production. As residual amounts of total organic solids (TOS) are removed by distillation and by the purification steps applied during the production of glucose syrups, dietary exposure was not calculated for
