Industrial activity

Intended food use
  • Coffee processing
  • Fruit and vegetable processing
  • Tea processing
 Exposure level Chronic exposure to the food enzyme–TOS was calculated by combining the maximum recommended use level with individual consumption data (EFSA CEP Panel, 2021). The estimation involved the selection of relevant food categories and the application of technical conversion factors (EFSA CEP Panel, 2023).
 
Intended use level 69.2 Usage details
