Industrial activity

Intended food use
  • Food 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 9.0 Usage details

The food enzyme is intended to be used to reduce acrylamide formation during food processing at high temperature and low moisture conditions by hydrolysing asparagine.
