Safety evaluation of the food enzyme containing endo-polygalacturonase and cellulase from the non-genetically modified Talaromyces cellulolyticus strain NITE BP-03478.

ABSTRACT: The food enzyme containing endo-polygalacturonase ((1-4)-α-d-galacturonan glycanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.15) and cellulase (4-(1,3;1,4)-β-d-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.4) activities is produced with the non-genetically modified Talaromyces cellulolyticus strain NITE BP-03478 by Meiji Seika Pharma Co., Ltd. It is intended to be used in eight food manufacturing processes: baking processes, brewing processes, fruit and vegetable processing for juice production, wine and wine vinegar production, fruit and vegetable processing for products other than juices, fruit and vegetable processing for refined olive oil production, coffee bean demucilation and grain treatment for starch production. Since residual amounts of total organic solids (TOS) are removed during three food processes (re
