食用添加劑網訊 2022年3月10日,據歐盟國家食品安全局(EFSA)信息,應歐洲委員會規(guī)定,歐盟國家小動物飼料添加物和商品(FEEDAP)科學研究工作組就谷氨酸棒鏈球菌NITE BP-01681生產制造的L-谷氨酸和L-谷氨酸-鈉水合物(monosodium l-glutamate monohydrate)做為所有動物飼料添加物的安全系數和實效性發(fā)布科學合理建議。
通過評定,權威專家工作組覺得該添加物對總體目標外來物種、顧客和條件是可靠的,做為營養(yǎng)成分添加物和調料化學物質是合理的。一部分全文報導如下所示:
Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of l-glutamic acid and monosodium l-glutamate monohydrate produced by fermentation using the genetically modified strain Corynebacterium glutamicum NITE BP-01681. The additives are intended to be used in feed and water for drinking for all animal species and categories as nutritional additives (amino acids) or as sensory additives (flavouring compounds). Viable cells of the production strain and its DNA were not detected in the final additives. The additives do not give rise to any safety concern regarding the production strain. l-Glutamic acid and monosodium l-glutamate monohydrate produced using C. glutamicum NITE BP-01681 are considered safe for the target species, for the consumer and for the environment. However, the Panel raised concerns on the use in water for drinking for hygienic reasons. The additives are considered not irritant to skin or eyes and not dermal sensitisers but a risk by inhalation. The Panel concluded that the additives are efficacious as nutritional additives and as flavouring compounds.
