FSANZ calls for submissions about new processing aid
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is calling for comment on an application made by IFF Australia Pty Ltd (trading as Danisco Australia Pty Ltd) to permit the use of the enzyme aminopeptidase Y as a processing aid.
Aminopeptidase Y (EC 3.4.11.6) is an enzyme made using a fungus called Trichoderma reesei. This fungus has been modified to include a gene from another fungus, Aspergillus clavatus, so it can produce the enzyme.
The application seeks approval to use aminopeptidase Y for protein and yeast processing and flavour production.
FSANZ said its safety assessment found no public health or safety concerns associated with the proposed use of the enzyme.
Submissions close at 11:59 pm (AEST) on Tuesday, 19 August 2025.
