Fumonisin esterase
EC 3.1.1.87
Additive composition
Preparation of fumonisin esterase produced by Komagataella pastoris (DSM 26643) containing a minimum of 3 000 U ( 1 ) /g.
Characterisation of the active substance
Preparation of fumonisin esterase produced by Komagataella pastoris (DSM 26643).
Analytical method
( 2 )
For the determination of fumonisin esterase activity: High Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to a tandem mass spectrometry.
(HPLC-MS/MS) method based on the quantification of the tricarballylic acid released from the action of the enzyme on fumonisin B1 at pH 8,0 and 30 °C.
All avian species

1.
In the directions for use of the additive and premixtures, the storage conditions and stability to heat treatment shall be indicated.
2.
Recommended maximum dose: 300 U/kg of complete feedingstuff.
3.
The use of the additive is allowed in feedingstuffs complying with the European Union legislation on undesirable substances in animal feed ( 3 ) .
4.
For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks resulting from their use. Where those risks cannot be eliminated or reduced to a minimum by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal protective equipment, including breathing protection.
