Safety evaluation of the food enzyme phospholipase A2 from porcine pancreas

Abstract The food enzyme phospholipase A2 (phosphatidylcholine 2‐acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.4) is obtained from porcine pancreas by Sanyo Fine Co., Ltd. It is intended to be used in three food manufacturing processes: egg processing, flavouring production and yeast processing. In the absence of suffici...

Description
Summary:Abstract The food enzyme phospholipase A2 (phosphatidylcholine 2‐acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.4) is obtained from porcine pancreas by Sanyo Fine Co., Ltd. It is intended to be used in three food manufacturing processes: egg processing, flavouring production and yeast processing. In the absence of sufficient data provided by the applicant to characterise the source of food enzyme, its production and chemical characterisation, coupled with insufficient information about food manufacturing processes to which the food enzyme is applied, the Panel was unable to assess the safety of the food enzyme.
