食品伙伴网讯 据世贸组织(WTO)消息,2014年12月加拿大卫生部发布G/SPS/N/CAN/904号通报,修订食品酶允许列表,拟允许三种酶用于啤酒麦芽浆。
这三种酶提取自踝节菌属埃默森蓝状菌(Rasamsonia emersonii),分别为纤维素酶(Cellulase)、萄聚糖酶(β-glucanase)和木聚糖酶(Xylanase)。
部分原文报道如下:
Health Canada received a food additive submission seeking approval for the use of a food enzyme preparation containing cellulase, β-glucanase and xylanase from Rasamsonia emersonii (previous name: Talaromyces emersonii) in brewers' mash at a maximum level of use consistent with good manufacturing practice.
All three enzymes in this preparation (cellulase, β-glucanase and xylanase) are permitted for use as food enzymes in certain foods in Canada. Glucanase, which includes β-glucanase, is permitted for use in ale, beer, malt liquor, porter and stout. However, Talaromyces emersonii has not previously been approved as a source organism for glucanase or any other permitted food enzyme. Several other enzymes are already approved for use as food enzymes in brewers' mash, but neither cellulase, glucanase, nor xylanase are among them.
