Summary
This summary is machine-generated.The food enzyme triacylglycerol lipase, produced by Limtongozyma cylindracea, is safe for use in food manufacturing. Revised exposure assessments confirm no safety concerns at updated usage levels.
Area Of Science
- Food Science
- Enzymology
- Toxicology
Background
- Triacylglycerol lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) from Limtongozyma cylindracea strain AE-LAYH (B) is a food enzyme.
- Previous safety evaluations by EFSA concluded no safety concerns for six food manufacturing processes.
Purpose Of The Study
- To re-evaluate the safety of the food enzyme triacylglycerol lipase.
- To update the dietary exposure assessment for revised use levels in three of the six food manufacturing processes.
Main Methods
- Updated dietary exposure assessment for the food enzyme.
- Estimation of dietary exposure to food enzyme-total organic solids (TOS) for five processes, excluding one where TOS are removed.
- Calculation of exposure levels in European populations.
Main Results
- Dietary exposure to triacylglycerol lipase-TOS was estimated up to 0.220 mg TOS/kg body weight per day in European populations.
- The revised exposure estimation was based on updated data and previous evaluations.
Conclusions
- The food enzyme triacylglycerol lipase does not pose safety concerns under the revised intended conditions of use.
- The updated safety assessment supports the continued use of this food enzyme in specified food manufacturing processes.
