Safety evaluation of the food enzyme lysophospholipase from the genetically modified Aspergillus niger strain NZYM‐LP
Abstract The food enzyme is a lysophospholipase (2‐lysophosphatidylcholine acylhydrolase; EC 3.1.1.5) produced with a genetically modified Aspergillus niger strain NZYM‐LP by Novozymes A/S. The genetic modifications do not give rise to safety concerns. The food enzyme is free from viable cells of th...
