Safety evaluation of an extension of use for the food enzyme β-fructofuranosidase from the genetically modified Trichoderma reesei strain AR-996 and amended specifications for its use as a food additive invertase (E1103)
The food enzyme β‐fructofuranosidase (β‐D‐fructofuranoside fructohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.26) is produced with the genetically modified (GM) Trichoderma reesei strain AR‐996 by AB Enzymes. 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 three additional processes and to amend the specifications for the food additive invertase (E 1103) to include its production with the GM Trichoderma reesei strain AR‐996.
