據(jù)了解，這種食品酶是由轉基因黑曲霉菌株NZYM-NM生產的，旨在用于咖啡加工中。

經過評估，專家小組認為，在預期的使用條件下，不能排除飲食暴露引起過敏和誘發(fā)反應的風險，但這種情況發(fā)生的可能性很低。根據(jù)所提供的數(shù)據(jù)，小組得出結論，該食品酶在預期的使用條件下不會引起安全隱患。部分原文報道如下：

The food enzyme mannan endo-1,4-β-mannosidase (1,4-β-d-mannan mannanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.78) is produced with the genetically modified Aspergillus niger strain NZYM-NM by Novozymes A/S. The genetic modifications do not give rise to safety concerns. The food enzyme is considered free from viable cells of the production organism and its DNA. The food enzyme is intended to be used in coffee processing. based on the maximum use levels, dietary exposure to the food enzyme total organic solids (TOS) was estimated to be up to 0.956 mg TOS/kg body weight (bw) per day in European populations. Genotoxicity tests did not indicate a safety concern. The systemic toxicity was assessed by means of a repeated dose 90-day oral toxicity study in rats. The Panel identified a no observed adverse effect level of 1,151.7 mg TOS/kg bw per day, the highest dose tested, which when compared with the estimated dietary exposure, results in a margin of exposure of more than 1,200. A search for similarity of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to known allergens was made and no match was found. The Panel considered that, under the intended conditions of use the risk of allergic sensitisation and elicitation reactions by dietary exposure cannot be excluded, but the likelihood for this to occur is considered to be low. based on the data provided, the Panel concluded that this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns under the intended conditions of use.
