食品伙伴网讯2022??5日,据欧盟食品安全局(EFSA)消息,欧盟营养、新型食品和食物过敏源(NDA)研究小组就干咖啡皮(dried coffee husk)作为新型食品的安全性发表科学意见
经过评估,专家小组得出结论,干咖啡皮作为新型食品在建议的使用条件下是安全的。部分原文报道如下:
Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on dried coffee husk (cascara) from Coffea arabica L. as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The NF comprises the skin (exocarp), pulp (mesocarp), mucilage (pectin), parchment (endocarp) and a portion of the silver skin of the coffee fruit, and co
nsists mainly of digestible carbohydrates, dietary fibre and water. The Panel co
nsiders that there are no safety co
ncerns regarding the stability of the NF if the NF complies with the proposed specification limits during its entire shelf-life. The NF as such will not be consumed, instead, beverages produced with the infusion of the NF in water will be available to consumers. Co
nsidering an 100% extraction of caffeine from the NF to the beverage, the specification limit set for caffeine and the proposed use levels, the maximum co
ncentration of caffeine in infusions produced using the NF could be up to 600?mg/L of drink, a co
ncentration comparable to those in coffee beverages. The Panel notes that co
nsumption of beverages produced using the NF will add significantly to the total dietary intake of caffeine of the general population. The co
nsumption of beverages co
ntaining caffeine is not recommended for children, pregnant or breast-feeding women if the caffeine co
ntent exceeds 150?mg/L. Taking into account the nature of the NF, the history of use of the NF as food and the proposed uses and use levels, the Panel co
nsiders that no toxicological studies are required on the NF. The risk of allergic reactions to the NF is co
nsidered low. The Panel co
ncludes that the NF, dried husk of the fruit of Coffea arabica L., is safe under the proposed co
nditions of use.
