“E 960b STEVIOL GLYCOSIDES FROM FERMENTATION (YARROWIA LIPOLYTICA)

Synonyms
Definition	Steviol glycosides from Yarrowia lipolytica consist of a mixture predominantly composed of rebaudioside M, with some rebaudioside D, and smaller amounts of rebaudioside A and rebaudioside B. The manufacturing process comprises two main phases. The first phase involves fermentation of a non-toxigenic non-pathogenic strain of Yarrowia. lipolytica VRM that has been genetically modified with heterologous genes to overexpress steviol glycosides. Removal of biomass by solid-liquid separation and heat treatment is followed by concentration of the steviol glycosides. The second phase involves purification by employing ion-exchange chromatography, followed by recrystallisation of the steviol glycosides resulting in a final product containing not less than 95% of rebaudiosides M, D, A, and B. Viable cells or the DNA of Yarrowia Lipolytica VRM must not be detected in the food additive.

“E 960c(ii) REBAUDIOSIDE M, AM AND D PRODUCED VIA ENZYMATIC CONVERSION OF HIGHLY PURIFIED STEVIOL GLYCOSIDES FROM STEVIA LEAF EXTRACTS

Synonyms
Definition	Steviol glycosides produced via enzymatic conversion of highly purified steviol glycosides (rebaudioside A or stevioside) stevia leaf extracts are composed predominantly of rebaudioside M, rebaudioside D, and rebaudioside AM. Rebaudiosides D, M and AM are produced via enzymatic conversion of highly purified steviol glycoside (rebaudioside A or stevioside) extracts (95% steviol glycosides) obtained from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni plant using UDP-glucosyltransferase and sucrose synthase enzymes produced by genetically modified strains of Escherichia coli (pPM294, pFAH170, and pSK041) that facilitate the transfer of glucose from sucrose and UDP-glucose to steviol glycosides via glycosidic bonds. After removal of the enzymes by solid-liquid separation and heat treatment, the purification involves concentration of the steviol glycosides by resin adsorption, followed by recrystallisation of the steviol glycosides resulting in a final product containing not less than 95 % of total steviol glycosides, including one or more of rebaudiosides D, M and AM.
