proposed amendment to the food and drug regulations 1225 - food additives available in english and french pages 1588-1594 provision currently exists in the food and drug regulations for the use of the enzymes alpha-amylase glucoamylase glucose isomerase maltogenic amylase pectinase and pullulanase in a wide variety of foods. the micro-organisms used to produce these enzymes are also regulated under division 16 of part b of these regulations. health canada has received submissions to permit the use of these enzymes produced from new genetically modified source micro-organisms as indicated below alpha-amylase and glucoamylase enzymes produced by aspergillus niger stz18-9 phuda7 genetically modified to contain multiple copies of the natural alpha-amylase and glucoamylase genes from aspergillus niger in the production of distillers mash ale beer light beer malt liquor porter stout and in starch used in the production of dextrins dextrose glucose glucose syrup or glucose solids dried glucose syrup and maltose alpha-amylase enzyme produced by bacillus amyloliquefaciens eba 20 pubh2 genetically modified to contain multiple copies of the natural alpha-amylase gene from bacillus amyloliquefaciens in the production of brewers mash distillers mash and in starch used in the production of dextrins dextrose glucose glucose syrup or glucose solids dried glucose syrup and maltose alpha-amylase enzyme which has high temperature and low ph stability produced by bacillus licheniformis bml 592 pamyamp genetically modified to contain the alpha-amylase gene obtained from the wild type bacillus licheniformis modified by mutagenesis in the production of brewers mash distillers mash and in starch used in the production of dextrins dextrose glucose glucose syrup or glucose solids dried glucose syrup and maltose alpha-amylase enzyme which has high temperature and low ph stability and a reduced calcium requirement produced by bacillus licheniformis bml 730 pamyamp genetically modified to contain the alpha-amylase gene obtained from the wild type bacillus licheniformis modified by mutagenesis in the production of brewers mash distillers mash and in starch used in the production of dextrins dextrose glucose glucose syrup or glucose solids dried glucose syrup and maltose alpha-amylase enzyme produced by bacillus licheniformis lat8 plat3 genetically modified to contain multiple copies of the natural alpha-amylase gene from bacillus licheniformis in the production of brewers mash distillers mash and in starch used in the production of dextrins dextrose glucose glucose syrup or glucose solids dried glucose syrup and maltose alpha-amylase enzyme produced by bacillus licheniformis lih 1159 plih1108 genetically modified to contain a hybrid bacillus amyloliquefaciens and bacillus licheniformis alpha-amylase gene in the production of brewers mash distillers mash and in starch used in the production of dextrins dextrose glucose glucose syrup or glucose solids dried glucose syrup and maltose alpha-amylase enzyme produced by bacillus licheniformis lih 1464 plih1346 genetically modified to contain the alpha-amylase gene from bacillus stearothermophilus in the production of brewers mash distillers mash and in starch used in the production of dextrins dextrose glucose glucose syrup or glucose solids dried glucose syrup and maltose amylase maltogenic enzyme produced by bacillus subtilis lfa 63 plfa63 genetically modified to contain a maltogenic amylase gene from bacillus stearothermophilus in starch used in the production of dextrins dextrose glucose glucose syrup or glucose solids dried glucose syrup maltose and in bakery products glucose isomerase wild type enzyme produced by streptomyces rubiginosus syc 5406 psyc5239 genetically modified to contain multiple copies of the natural glucose isomerase gene from streptomyces rubiginosus in the production of high fructose corn syrups pectinase enzyme produced by aspergillus
