欧盟就钙磷酸盐寡糖用于食品、食品补充剂、特殊医学用途食品发布意见

　　  据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，欧盟食品安全局就钙磷酸盐寡糖（POs-Ca®） 作为钙来源用于食品、食品补充剂、特殊医学用途食品发布意见。

　　POs-Ca®是土豆淀粉源磷酸寡糖的钙盐。在口香糖、硬糖、无糖软糖果与苹果汁生产过程当中的温度与pH条件下，POs-Ca®保持稳定。

　　经评估，欧盟食品安全局专家组认为，钙磷酸盐寡糖（POs-Ca®） 作为钙来源用于食品、食品补充剂、特殊医学用途食品是安全的，是一种较好的钙补充剂。

　　部分原文报道如下：

　　POs-Ca®is a calcium salt of phosphoryl oligosaccharides （POs） obtained from potato starch. POs-Ca®is stable at the temperature and pH values encountered for its intended use in chewing gum, hard confectionary, sugar-free soft candy and apple juice.

　　Overall, the Panel concluded that calcium is bioavailable from POs-Ca® and although the toxicity database was too limited to derive an acceptable daily intake, there is no safety concern for its use as a source of calcium added for nutritional purposes to food, food supplements and foods for special medical purposes at the proposed use and use levels. The Panel noted thatPOs-Ca® would be a major contributor to the daily intake of calcium with respect to the overall average daily intake of calcium.
