This assessment addresses a food enzyme preparation consisting of the immobilised non‐viable cells of the non‐genetically modified bacterium identified by the applicant (Samyang Corporation) as Microbacterium foliorum strain SYG27B. This strain produces the enzyme D‐psicose 3‐epimerase (EC 5.1.3.30). The food enzyme preparation is used for the isomerisation of fructose to produce the speciality carbohydrate D‐allulose (synonym D‐psicose). Since the hazard identification and characterisation could not be made and the identity of the production organism could not be established, the Panel was unable to complete the assessment of this food enzyme preparation containing D‐psicose 3‐epimerase.
