Safety evaluation of an extension of use of the food enzyme α-amylase from the genetically modified Aspergillus niger strain NZYM-SB
The food enzyme α‐amylase (4‐α‐d‐glucan glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.1) is produced with the genetically modified Aspergillus niger strain NZYM‐SB by Novozymes A/S. The safety of this food enzyme was evaluated previously, and it did not give rise to safety concerns when used in three food manufacturing processes. Subsequently, the applicant has requested to extend its use to include one additional process. In this assessment, EFSA updated the safety evaluation of this food enzyme when used in a total of four food manufacturing processes.
