FSANZ requests comments on new enzyme source
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has put out a call for comments regarding a currently used enzyme being produced from a new microbial source.
The enzyme, beta-fructofuranosidase, is already used in food production but an application has been submitted to FSANZ for it to be sourced from alternative microorganisms — specifically Aspergillus fijiensis.
The safety of the enzyme has already been established and the calls for comment specifically pertain to its production by a new bacterial strain, which is otherwise very similar to the currently utilised strains.

Submissions will close at 6 pm on 16 December, after which point FSANZ will consider the feedback and then consider whether the application for the enzyme will be approved or not.
