Industrial activity

Intended food use
  • Cereal processing
  • Fruit and vegetable processing
 Exposure level Chronic exposure to the food enzyme–TOS was calculated using the FEIM webtool by combining the maximum recommended use level with individual consumption data (EFSA CEP Panel, 2021). The estimation involved selection of relevant food categories and application of technical conversion factors (EFSA CEP Panel, 2023 together with the information provided in Appendix C.
 
Intended use level 29.0 Usage details

The food enzyme is intended to be used in 11 food manufacturing processes: Processing of cereals and other grains (Production of starch and gluten fractions, Production of baked products, Production of cereal-based products other than baked, Production of brewed products, Production of distilled alcohol), Processing of fruits and vegetables (Production of juices, Production of fruit and vegetable products other than juices, Production of wine and wine vinegar, Production of distilled alcoholic beverages), Processing of plant-and fungal-derived products (Production of plant extracts, Processing of yeast and yeast products)
