歐盟評估一種食品酶復合物的安全性

據了解，該食品酶復合物含有來自豬胰腺的胰蛋白酶（trypsin）、胰凝乳蛋白酶（chymotrypsin）、α-淀粉酶（α-amylase）和三酰甘油脂肪酶（triacylglycerol lipase），旨在用于水解特殊醫學用途食品或營養膳食管理食品中的乳蛋白。

經過評估，專家小組認為該食品酶復合物不符合歐盟關于溶劑殘留量的現有要求。部分原文報道如下：

The food enzyme complex, containing trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4), chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1), α-amylase (1,4-α-d-glucan glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.1) and triacylglycerol lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3), is obtained from porcine pancreas by American Laboratories, Inc., USA. The food enzyme is intended primarily for the hydrolysis of milk proteins to be used in foods for special medical or nutritional dietary management. ■■■■■ is extensively used in the manufacturing process, and residual amounts of the solvent remain in the food enzyme. The applicant estimates a typical range of ■■■■■ in the food enzyme to be 10,000–13,000 mg/kg. Directive 2009/32/EC sets a maximum residue level of 10 mg/kg for foods and food ingredients produced in the EU or imported into the EU. The use of ■■■■■ for the production of a food enzyme falls within the scope of Directive 2009/32/EC. Consequently, the food enzyme does not comply with the existing requirements within the EU governing residual amount of solvent.
