Safety evaluation of the food enzyme mannan endo-1,4-β-mannosidase from the non-genetically modified Aspergillus niger HBI-GM01

The food enzyme mannan endo‐1,4‐β‐mannosidase (1,4‐β‐d‐mannan mannanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.78) is produced with the non‐genetically modified Aspergillus niger strain HBI‐GM01 by HBI Enzymes Inc. The food enzyme was considered free from viable cells of the production organism. It is intended to be used in three food manufacturing processes. Dietary exposure to the food enzyme–total organic solids (TOS) was estimated to be up to 0.824 mg TOS/kg body weight per day in European populations.
