Intended food use
  • Bakery and cereal based products
  • Beer and cereal based beverages
  • Cereal based distilled alcoholic beverages
  • Fruit and vegetable processing
  • Yeast 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).
 
Intended use level 200.0 Usage details

The food enzyme is intended to be used in eight 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 wine and wine vinegar), Processing of yeast and yeast products
