据了解，这种食品酶是由转基因米曲霉菌株AR-183生产的，旨在用于七种食品生产过程。
经过评估，专家小组得出结论，这种食品酶在预期使用条件下不会引起安全问题。部分原文报道如下：
The food enzyme endo-polygalacturonase ((1?→?4)-α-d-galacturonan glycanohydrolase EC 3.2.1.15) is produced with the genetically modified Aspergillus oryzae strain AR-183 by AB ENZYMES GmbH. A safety evaluation of this food enzyme was made previously, in which EFSA concluded that this food enzyme did not give rise to safety concerns when used in five food manufacturing processes. Subsequently, the applicant requested to extend its use to two additional processes. In this assessment, EFSA updated the safety evaluation of this food enzyme for use in a total of seven food manufacturing processes. As the food enzyme-total organic solids (TOS) is removed from the final foods in three food manufacturing processes, the dietary exposure to the food enzyme-TOS was estimated only for the remaining four processes. Dietary exposure was up to 0.087 mg TOS/kg body weight (bw) per day in European populations. When combined with the NOAEL reported in the previous opinion (1000 mg TOS/kg bw per day, the highest dose tested), the Panel derived a margin of exposure of at least 11,494. based on the data provided for the previous evaluation and the revised margin of exposure, the Panel concluded that this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns under the revised intended conditions of use.
