What it is

Enzyme-modified cocoa butter is a type of fat derived from cocoa butter. It is made by using enzymes to change the structure of cocoa butter, which can alter its melting point and texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enzyme-modified cocoa butter to improve the texture and melting properties of chocolate and confectionery products. It can help prevent blooming (white streaks) and create a smoother mouthfeel. It is often found in chocolate bars, coatings, and baked goods.

Health notes

Enzyme-modified cocoa butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a fat source and, like other fats, contributes calories to the diet. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar fat ingredients, but specific evaluations for enzyme-modified cocoa butter may vary. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Enzyme-modified cocoa butter is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
