Call for comment on thermolysin as a processing aid
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is calling for comment on an application to permit the use of the enzyme thermolysin as a processing aid.
Thermolysin (EC 3.4.24.27) is an enzyme produced by the Rokko strain of the microorganism Anoxybacillus caldiproteolyticus.
The application was made by IFF Australia Pty Ltd (trading as Danisco Australia). It seeks approval to use thermolysin during the processing of a wide range of foods, including dairy, eggs, meat and fish, to help break down proteins.
FSANZ’s safety assessment found no public health or safety concerns with the proposed use of the enzyme.
Submissions close at 11.59 pm (AEST), Thursday, 3 July 2025. To find out more, visit here.
