1             Name

This instrument is the Food Standards (Application A1210 – Maltogenic alpha-amylase enzyme from GM Saccharomyces cerevisiae) Variation.

2             Variation to a Standard in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code

The Schedule varies a Standard in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.

3             Commencement

The variation commences on the date of gazettal.

Schedule

[1]           Schedule 18 is varied by

[1.1]        inserting into the table to subsection S18—9(3), in alphabetical order

Maltogenic α-amylase, protein engineered variant, (EC 3.2.1.133) sourced from Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing the gene for maltogenic α-amylase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus. For use in the manufacture of bakery products GMP

[1.2]        inserting after the table to subsection S18—9(3)

Note    Some enzyme sources identified in this table are protein engineered. If such an enzyme is used as a processing aid, the resulting food may have as an ingredient a food produced using gene technology, and the requirements relating to foods produced using gene technology will apply—see Standard 1.2.1 and Standard 1.5.2. The relevant enzymes are the following:

●          Endo-1,4-ß-xylanase, protein engineered variant;

●          Maltogenic α-amylase, protein engineered variant;

●          Protein engineered enzymes used in the manufacture of various steviol glycosides.
