Industrial activity

Intended food use
  • Fruit and vegetable processing
  • Protein processing
  • Sugar 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 169.0 Usage details

The food enzyme is intended to be used in three food manufacturing processes: Processing of fruits and vegetables (Production of wine and wine vinegar), Processing of plant-and fungal-derived products (Production of coffee extracts), Processing of sugars (Production of oligosaccharides (manno-oligosaccharides))
