Intended food use
  • Fruit and vegetable processing
  • Oils and fats processing
  • Tea 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). The applicant provided a list of the FoodEx categories that should be considered for the exposure estimation to the production of citrus oil essences. This list has been revised by the Panel and the final outcome that was used for the exposure calculation.
 
Intended use level 14.8 Usage details

The food enzyme is intended to be used in seven food manufacturing processes: Processing of fruit and vegetables (Production of juices, Production of fruit and vegetable products other than juices, Production of wine and wine vinegar, Production of alcoholic beverages other than grape wine), Processing of plant-and fungal-derived products (Production of edible oils from plant and algae, Production of tea and other herbal and fruit infusions, Production of citrus oil essences)
