What it is

Enzyme-modified butterfat is a dairy ingredient made from butterfat. It is produced by using enzymes to change the butterfat's properties, such as its melting point or texture. This process allows it to be used in a wider range of food applications.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enzyme-modified butterfat to improve the texture, mouthfeel, and flavor of foods. It can also act as a fat replacer or enhance the richness of products. It is commonly found in baked goods, dairy products, and savory dishes.

Health notes

Enzyme-modified butterfat is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of fat and fat-soluble vitamins, similar to regular butterfat. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated related dairy components. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical levels.

Allergen info

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