Notice of Modification to the List of Permitted Food Enzymes to Enable the Use of Pectinesterase from Aspergillus oryzae AR-962 and Polygalacturonase from Aspergillus oryzae AR-183 in Certain Fruit and Vegetable Products |
Summary |
Health Canada's Food Directorate completed the premarket safety assessments of two food additive submissions seeking authorization for the use of two types of pectinase, pectinesterase from Aspergillus oryzae AR-962 and polygalacturonase from Aspergillus oryzae AR-183, in fruit and vegetable processing and wine production.
The results of the premarket assessments support the safety of pectinesterase from Aspergillus oryzae AR-962 and polygalacturonase from Aspergillus oryzae AR-183 for their requested uses. Consequently, Health Canada has enabled the use of pectinesterase from Aspergillus oryzae AR-962 and polygalacturonase from Aspergillus oryzae AR-183 as described in the information document by modifying the List of Permitted Food Enzymes, effective September 28, 2023.
The purpose of the information document is to publicly announce the Department's decision in this regard and to provide the appropriate contact information for those wishing to submit an inquiry or new scientific information relevant to the safety of this food additive.
