Industrial activity

Intended food use
  • Sugar processing
 Exposure level The Panel accepted the evidence provided as sufficient to conclude that the residual amounts of food enzyme-TOS in the α-cyclodextrins are negligible (EFSA CEP Panel, 2023). Consequently, dietary exposure was not calculated.
 
Intended use level 200.0 Usage details

The food enzyme is intended to be used in the processing of sugars for the production of speciality carbohydrates (α-cyclodextrins).
