This 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme, produced by fermentation using Geobacillus stearothermophilus, rearranges starch molecules by adding branch points, which can change starch's texture and digestibility. It's used as a processing aid in starch-based food production, and the US FDA has approved it for food use.
What each registry publishes about 1,4-α-glucan branching enzyme preparation from <i>geobacillus stearothermophilus</i> strain trbe14.
Every row comes from a published regulator source, linked so you can read it yourself. "Prohibited" means a regulator has affirmatively banned it; "not authorized" means it has never been cleared for that use there. The two are not the same thing, so we never collapse them.
