Enzyme Modified Butter Oil & Dehydrated Butter

Enzyme Modified Butter Oil (EMBO) is a butterfat that has been treated with enzymes to alter its flavor and functional properties. Dehydrated Butter is butter that has had most of its water removed. Both are derived from milk fat.

These ingredients are used to enhance the buttery flavor and richness in food products. They can also contribute to texture and mouthfeel. They are often found in processed foods like frozen appetizers, baked goods, and sauces.

Enzyme Modified Butter Oil and Dehydrated Butter are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are sources of fat and contain fat-soluble vitamins. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated butterfat and its derivatives, generally finding them safe for consumption. No significant health concerns are associated with typical dietary intake.
