Safety evaluation of an extension of use of the food enzyme acylglycerol lipase from the genetically modified Penicillium sp. strain AE‐LGS
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The food enzyme acylglycerol lipase (glycerol‐ester acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.23) is produced with the genetically modified Penicillium sp. strain AE‐LGS by Amano Enzyme Inc. A safety evaluation of this food enzyme was made previously, in which the Panel could not complete the safety assessment due to insufficient data to characterise the production strain and the composition of the food enzyme. In the current application, the applicant requested to extend the use of the food enzyme to include two additional food manufacturing processes. For the same reasons as stated in the previous assessment, the Panel could not complete the evaluation of the extension of use.
