✨ Food Standards Enzymes
NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 50 — 8 MAY 2015
Note 3 Some enzyme sources identified in this section 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:
- Glycerophospholipid cholesterol acyltransferase, protein engineered variant;
- Lipase, triacylglycerol, protein engineered variant;
- Maltotetraohydrolase, protein engineered variant;
(3) The permitted enzymes of animal origin are:
Permitted enzymes (section 1.3.3—6)—Enzymes of animal origin

| Lipase, triacylglycerol (EC 3.1.1.3) | Bovine stomach; salivary glands or forestomach of calf, kid or lamb; porcine or bovine pancreas |
| Pepsin (EC 3.4.23.1) | Bovine or porcine stomach |
| Phospholipase A₂ (EC 3.1.1.4) | Porcine pancreas |
| Thrombin (EC 3.4.21.5) | Bovine or porcine blood |

| Stem bromelain (EC 3.4.22.32) | Pineapple stem (Ananas comosus) |
(5) The permitted enzymes of microbial origin are:
Permitted enzymes (section 1.3.3—6)—Enzymes of microbial origin
| Enzyme | Source |
|---|---|
| α-Acetolactate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.5) | Bacillus amyloliquefaciens |
