據(jù)了解，這種食品酶是由非轉(zhuǎn)基因桔綠木霉菌株HBI-TX01生產(chǎn)的，旨在用于4種食品制造過(guò)程。

　　

　　經(jīng)過(guò)評(píng)估，專(zhuān)家小組認(rèn)為，在預(yù)期的使用條件下，不能排除通過(guò)飲食接觸引起過(guò)敏反應(yīng)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，但這種情況發(fā)生的可能性很低。根據(jù)所提供的數(shù)據(jù)，小組得出結(jié)論，該食品酶在預(yù)期的使用條件下不會(huì)引起安全問(wèn)題。部分原文報(bào)道如下：

　　

　　The food enzyme endo-1,4-β-xylanase (4-β-d-xylan xylanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.8) is produced with Trichoderma citrinoviride strain HBI-TX01 by HBI Enzymes Inc. The food enzyme is free from viable cells of the production organism. It is intended to be used in four food manufacturing processes. Since residual amounts of food enzyme–total organic solids (TOS) are removed in two food manufacturing processes, dietary exposure was calculated only for the remaining two processes. It was estimated to be up to 1.488 mg 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 1101 mg TOS/kg bw, the highest dose tested, which when compared with the estimated dietary exposure, resulted in a margin of exposure of at least 740. A search for homology of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to known allergens was made and no match was found. Known sources of food allergens were used in the manufacturing process. The Panel considered that the risk of allergic reactions upon dietary exposure to this food enzyme 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.
