What it is
Enzyme-modified cheddar cheese solids are made by using enzymes to break down the proteins and fats in cheese. This process intensifies the cheese flavor and aroma. The resulting solids are then dried and powdered.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add enzyme-modified cheddar cheese solids to boost the savory, umami flavor of foods. They are often used in snack foods, sauces, dips, and frozen appetizers to provide a concentrated cheese taste without adding significant moisture or fat.
Health notes
In the US, enzyme-modified cheddar cheese solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar enzyme preparations used in food processing. Typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
