2025年6月19日,歐盟食品安全局就一種食品酶葡糖氧化酶(glucose oxidase)的安全性評價發布意見。
據了解,這種食品酶是由非轉基因產紅青霉菌株PGO 19–162生產的,旨在用于五種食品生產過程。
經過評估,專家小組認為,在預期的使用條件下,不能排除飲食暴露引起過敏反應的風險。根據所提供的數據,評估小組得出結論,這種食品酶在預期使用條件下不會引起安全問題。部分原文報道如下:
The food enzyme glucose oxidase (β-d-glucose: oxygen 1-oxidoreductase; EC 1.1.3.4) is produced with the non-genetically modified Penicillium rubens strain PGO 19–162 by Shin Nihon Chemical Co. Ltd. The food enzyme was free from viable cells of the production organism. It is intended to be used in five food manufacturing processes. Dietary exposure was estimated to be up to 0.062 mg total organic solids (TOS)/kg body weight (bw) per day in European populations. Genotoxicity tests did not indicate a safety concern. The systemic toxicity was assessed by means of a repeated dose 90-day oral toxicity study in rats. The Panel identified a no observed adverse effect level of 193 mg TOS/kg bw per day, the highest dose tested, which when compared with the estimated dietary exposure, resulted in a margin of exposure of at least 3113. A search for the homology of the amino acid sequence of the glucose oxidase to known allergens was made and matches with one food allergen and one contact allergen were found. The Panel considered that a risk of allergic reactions upon dietary exposure to the food enzyme cannot be excluded. 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.
