Safety evaluation of the food enzyme containing endo-1,3(4)-β-glucanase, endo-1,4-β-xylanase and cellulase activities from the non-genetically modified Rasamsonia emersonii strain FGB

This article focuses on the safety evaluation of a food enzyme. The enzyme contains three main activities: endo-1,3(4)-β-glucanase, endo-1,4-β-xylanase, and cellulase. It is produced by the Rasamsonia emersonii strain FGB, which is not genetically modified. The manufacturer of this enzyme is DSM Food Specialties B.V. Importantly, the food enzyme is free from viable cells of the production organism. It is intended for use in four different food manufacturing processes.
