2023年9月29日,欧盟食品安全局就食品酶三酰甘油脂肪酶(triacylglycerol lipase)的安全性评价发布意见。
据了解,这种食品酶来自牛犊、幼山羊和羔羊的前胃组织,旨在用于奶酪的生产。
经过评估,专家小组认为,在预期的使用条件下,不能排除通过饮食接触引起的过敏反应的风险,但这种情况发生的可能性很低。根据所提供的数据,小组得出结论,该食品酶在预期的使用条件下不会引起安全问题。部分原文报道如下:
The food enzyme containing triacylglycerol lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase; EC 3.1.1.3) is prepared from the pregastric tissues of calves, young goats and lambs by Caglificio Clerici SpA. The food enzyme is intended to be used in the production of cheese. As no concerns arose from the animal source of the food enzyme, from its manufacture and based on the history of safe use and consumption, the Panel considered that toxicological data were not required and no exposure assessment was necessary. A search for the similarity of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to known allergens was made and no match was found. The Panel considered that a risk of allergic reactions upon dietary exposure cannot be excluded, but the likelihood is low. based on the data provided, the Panel concluded that this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns under the intended conditions of use.
