Any comments can be submitted before April 20, 2025. Details are as follows:
Two new varieties of enzyme preparations for food industry
Two new varieties of food nutritional fortification substances
1. Chinese name: 3-岩藻糖基乳糖
English name: 3-fucosyllactose, 3-FL
Function classification: food nutritional fortification substance
Dosage and scope of use
2. Chinese name: 乳糖-N-四糖
English name: Lacto-N-tetraose, LNT
Function classification: food nutritional fortification substance
Dosage and scope of use
One food additive with the scope of use expanded
Two processing aids for food industry with the scope of use expanded
One food additive with quality specifications supplemented
The quality specifications of this substance should be implemented in accordance with the NHC Announcement No. 8 of 2023 (except for Appendix C Information on Bacteria for the Production of 2'-fucosyllactose), and the production bacteria information on the new variety of nutritional fortification substance is shown in the following table.
a is mannose-6-phosphate isomerase donor
b is mannose-6-phosphate isomerase, mannose-1-guanosine phosphate transferase, GDP-mannose dehydrase, GDP-fucose synthase, lactose permease, sugar effluent transporter donor
c is α-1,2-fucosyltransferase donor
If you are interested in the application of new varieties of food additives, please feel free to contact us!
