EFSA is requested to assess the safety of a broad range biological agents in context notification for market authorisation as sources food and feed additives, enzymes plant protection products. The qualified presumption (QPS) assessment was developed provide harmonised generic pre-assessment support risk assessments performed by EFSA's scientific Panels. unambiguously defined (at highest taxonomic unit appropriate purpose which an application intended), completeness body knowledge are...
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) was developed to provide a pre-assessment within EFSA for microorganisms. Strains belonging QPS taxonomic units (TUs) still require an assessment based on specific data package, but status facilitates fast track evaluation. TUs are unambiguously defined biological agents assessed the body knowledge, their and end use. Safety concerns are, where possible, be confirmed at strain or product level, reflected as 'qualifications'. Qualifications need...
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a assessment approach for microorganisms intended use in food or feed chains. QPS is based on an published data each taxonomic unit (TU), with respect its identity, the body relevant knowledge and concerns. Safety concerns identified TU are, where possible, confirmed at species/strain product level reflected by 'qualifications'. In period covered this Statement, no new information found that would change status...

Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a assessment approach for microorganisms intended use in food or feed chains. In the period covered by this statement, no new information found that would change status previously recommended QPS TUs. TUs list were updated based on verification, against their respective authoritative databases, correctness names and completeness synonyms. A procedure has been established ensure are kept up date relation...

Hardwood species are valuable biological resources that have an important role in the economy and ecology of ecosystems worldwide. Non-zygotic or somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a powerful tool plant biotechnology as it form clonal propagation, amenable to cryopreservation germplasm genetic transformation including gene editing. The SE process involves five steps includes embryo induction, proliferation, maturation, plantlet conversion, subsequent acclimatization. This review aims provide...
Microorganisms are intentionally added at different stages of the food and feed chain (food or additive, novel plant protection product) subjected to regulation safety assessment by European Food Safety Authority. evaluation is based on application dossiers for market authorisation Commission. The qualified presumption (QPS) concept was developed in 20031 provide a harmonised generic pre-appraisal above microorganisms. Unambiguously defined biological taxonomic units (TUs) assessed their...

Cyphomandra betacea (tamarillo) is a tree that produces edible, highly nutritional fruits. In tamarillo, somatic embryogenesis (SE) achieved through two-step process starting with the formation of an embryogenic tissue on auxin-rich medium and further development embryos, following transfer to auxin-free medium. During induction stage, both (EC) nonembryogenic calli (NEC) arise from same explant (immature leaves or mature zygotic embryos) in presence either picloram 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic...
