欧盟评估转基因大肠杆菌菌株LE1B109-pPB129生产的蔗糖磷酸化酶的安全性

 

　　据了解，这种食品酶是由转基因大肠杆菌菌株LE1B109-pPB129生产的，旨在与纤维二糖磷酸化酶结合用于生产特种碳水化合物纤维二糖。

 

　　经过评估，专家小组认为，在预期的使用条件下，不能排除饮食暴露引起过敏反应的风险，但这种可能性被认为很低。根据所提供的数据，评估小组得出结论，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 sucrose phosphorylase (sucrose: phosphate α-d-glucosyltransferase; EC 2.4.1.7) is produced with the genetically modified Escherichia coli strain LE1B109-pPB129 by c-LEcta GmbH. The genetic modifications do not give rise to safety concerns. The food enzyme was free from viable cells of the production organism. It is intended to be used in combination with a cellobiose phosphorylase in the production of the specialty carbohydrate cellobiose. Since residual amounts of food enzyme–total organic solids are removed by the downstream purification steps, the Panel considered that toxicological studies other than assessment of allergenicity were unnecessary and a dietary exposure was not estimated. A search for the similarity of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to known allergens was made and no match was found. The Panel considered that the risk of allergic reactions upon dietary exposure cannot be excluded, but the likelihood is 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.
