Safety evaluation of food enzymes produced by a safe strain lineage of Bacillussubtilis.

The safety of microbially-derived food enzymes must be carefully assessed before market introduction. The production strain's safety is central to the assessment. In this paper, we have determined that DSM's Bacillus subtilis strain lineage can be considered safe for food enzyme production.

The safety of a Kluyveromyces lactis strain lineage for enzyme production.

Kluyveromyces lactis is broadly considered as a safe yeast in food and a suitable organism for the production of food enzymes. The K. lactis enzyme production strains of DSM are used to produce a variety of enzymes, for example beta-galactosidase (lactase), chymosin and esterase.
