The Virtual 2021 SOT Annual Meeting and ToxExpo will offer live, semi-live, and on-demand sessions. Attendees will benefit from 65+ Scientific and Featured Sessions and dedicated virtual networking spaces to connect with peers and service/product providers through the ToxExpo exhibits.
During the event, Intertek Health, Environmental & Regulatory Services (HERS) expert, Kevin Scaife, Associate, Food & Nutrition, will provide first-hand knowledge of his latest scientific research during the following poster session:
- Assessment of Alpha-amylase Produced from Bacillus stearothermophilus Using In Silico Methods for Evaluating Pathogenicity and Toxigenicity
When: Monday, March 22, 1:00 - 2:45 PM | Poster Board No. P266
About: For centuries, enzymes have been used in food production due to their ability to accelerate biochemical reactions. The U.S. FDA considers the use of alpha-amylase to be Generally Recognized as Safe when produced from a strain of bacteria, Bacillus stearothermophilus (now Geobacillus stearothermophilus) that is non-toxic and would not cause disease. This poster will discuss the key findings of an in silico assessment that was conducted on a G. stearothermophilus strain to evaluate whether this strain would be a suitable source of alpha-amylase for use in food.
