经过评估,专家小组得出结论,在建议的使用条件下该添加剂对消费者是安全的。由于人参根及其制剂具有调味特性,其在饲料中的功能与在食品中的功能基本相同,因此认为没有必要进一步证明其功效。部分原文报道如下:
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of a tincture from the roots of Panax ginseng C.A.Mey. (ginseng tincture), when used as a sensory additive in feed for horses, dogs and cats. The product is a water/ethanol (40:60 v/v) solution, with a dry matter co
ntent of no more than 6% and a co
ntent of 0.01%C0.5% (w/w) for the sum of the two triterpene sapo
nins ginsenoside Rb1 and ginsenoside Rg1. The Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) co
ncluded that the tincture is safe for horses, dogs and cats at the maximum proposed use level of 48.6, 228.7 and 162 mg/kg complete feed, respectively. The Panel also co
ncluded that the additive is co
nsidered safe for co
nsumers when used at the proposed co
nditions of use in feed for horses. Ginseng tincture should be co
nsidered as an irritant to skin and eyes, and as a dermal and respiratory sensitiser. The use of the ginseng tincture as a flavour in feed for horses was not expected to pose a risk for the environment. Since the roots of P. ginseng and its preparations were recognised to flavour food and their function in feed would be essentially the same, no demo
nstration of efficacy was co
nsidered necessary.
