食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據(jù)歐盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，歐盟食品安全局就鈣磷酸鹽寡糖（POs-Ca®） 作為鈣來(lái)源用于食品、食品補(bǔ)充劑、特殊醫(yī)學(xué)用途食品發(fā)布意見(jiàn)。

　　POs-Ca®是土豆淀粉源磷酸寡糖的鈣鹽。在口香糖、硬糖、無(wú)糖軟糖果與蘋(píng)果汁生產(chǎn)過(guò)程當(dāng)中的溫度與pH條件下，POs-Ca®保持穩(wěn)定。

　　經(jīng)評(píng)估，歐盟食品安全局專家組認(rèn)為，鈣磷酸鹽寡糖（POs-Ca®） 作為鈣來(lái)源用于食品、食品補(bǔ)充劑、特殊醫(yī)學(xué)用途食品是安全的，是一種較好的鈣補(bǔ)充劑。

　　部分原文報(bào)道如下：

　　POs-Ca®is a calcium salt of phosphoryl oligosaccharides （POs） obtained from potato starch. POs-Ca®is stable at the temperature and pH values encountered for its intended use in chewing gum, hard confectionary, sugar-free soft candy and apple juice.

　　Overall, the Panel concluded that calcium is bioavailable from POs-Ca® and although the toxicity database was too limited to derive an acceptable daily intake, there is no safety concern for its use as a source of calcium added for nutritional purposes to food, food supplements and foods for special medical purposes at the proposed use and use levels. The Panel noted thatPOs-Ca® would be a major contributor to the daily intake of calcium with respect to the overall average daily intake of calcium.
