Synopsis (short abstract) This volume contains monographs prepared at the ninety-fifth meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), which met virtually during 6–17 and 22 June 2022.The toxicological and dietary exposure monographs in this volume summarize the safety and dietary exposure data on eight specific food additives: α-amlyase (JECFA95-1 and JECFA95-2) from Geobacillus stearothermophilus expressed in Bacillus licheniformis; α-amlyase (JECFA95-3) from Rhizomucor pusillus expressed in Aspergillus niger; amyloglucosidase (JECFA95-4) from Rasamsonia emersonii expressed in Aspergillus niger; asparaginase (JECFA95-5) from Pyrococcus furiosus expressed in Bacillus subtilis; β-amylase (JECFA95-6) from Bacillus flexus expressedin Bacillus licheniformis; lipase (JECFA95-7) from Thermomyces lanuginosus and Fusarium oxysporum expressed in Aspergillus oryzaei; and xylanase (JECFA95-9) from Bacillus licheniformis expressed in Bacillus licheniformis. An addendum summarizes the safety and dietary exposure data on a group of related flavouring agents (alicyclic ketones, secondary alcohols and relatedesters). This volume and others in the WHO Food Additives series contain information that is useful to those who produce and use food additives and veterinary drugs, those involved in the control of contaminants in food, government and food regulatory officers, industrial testing laboratories, toxicological laboratories and universities.
