Sec. 173.160 Candida guilliermondii.
The food additive Candida guilliermondii may be safely used as the
organism for fermentation production of citric acid in accordance with
the following conditions:
(a) The food additive is the enzyme system of the viable organism
Candida guilliermondii and its concomitant metabolites produced during
the fermentation process.
[[Page 132]]
(b)(1) The nonpathogenic and nontoxicogenic organism descending from
strain, American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) No. 20474,\1\ is
classified as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Available from: American Type Culture Collection, 12301 Parklawn
Drive, Rockville, MD 20852.
Class: Deuteromycetes.
Order: Moniliales.
Family: Cryptococcaceae.
Genus: Candida.
Species: guilliermondii.
Variety: guilliermondii.
(2) The toxonomic characteristics of the reference culture strain
ATCC No. 20474 agree in the essentials with the standard description for
Candida guilliermondii variety guilliermondii listed in ``The Yeasts--A
Toxonomic Study;'' 2d Ed. (1970), by Jacomina Lodder, which is
incorporated by reference. Copies are available from the Center for Food

(c)(1) The additive is used or intended for use as a pure culture in
the fermentation process for the production of citric acid using an
acceptable aqueous carbohydrate substrate.
(2) The organism Candida quilliermondii is made nonviable and is
completely removed from the citric acid during the recovery and
purification process.
(d) The additive is so used that the citric acid produced conforms
to the specifications of the ``Food Chemicals Codex,'' 3d Ed. (1981),
under ``Citric acid,'' pp. 86-87, which is incorporated by reference.
