What it is

Enzyme-modified butter fat is a dairy ingredient made from butter. Enzymes are used to break down the butterfat into smaller components, which can alter its flavor, texture, and melting properties.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enzyme-modified butter fat to improve the texture and mouthfeel of foods, especially in products like frozen meals and sauces. It can also enhance the buttery flavor without adding bulk butter.

Health notes

Enzyme-modified butter fat is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar dairy ingredients. No specific health concerns are associated with its typical use in foods.

Allergen info

Enzyme-modified butter fat is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
