Manufacturing

Production Fermentation

Industrial activity

Intended food use
  • Cereal based distilled alcoholic beverages
  • Cereal processing
 Exposure level The Panel accepted the evidence provided as sufficient to conclude that the residual amount of food enzyme–TOS in the final foods is negligible (EFSA CEP Panel, 2023). Consequently, dietary exposure was not calculated.
 
Intended use level 28.1 Usage details

The food enzyme is intended to be used in two food manufacturing processes: Processing of cereals and other grains (Production of starch and gluten fractions, Production of distilled alcohol)
