Enzymes Modified Butter

Enzymes Modified Butter is butter that has been treated with enzymes to alter its flavor and texture. These enzymes, often derived from microbial sources, break down fats and proteins in the butter, creating new flavor compounds and a smoother consistency. This process allows for a more intense butter flavor and improved functionality in food products.

Manufacturers add Enzymes Modified Butter to enhance the rich, creamy flavor of dairy products and baked goods. It is used to improve texture and mouthfeel in items like sauces, soups, and frozen appetizers. Its concentrated flavor also allows for less butter to be used while achieving a similar taste profile.

Enzymes Modified Butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The enzymes used in its modification are typically produced through fermentation and are not considered a health concern at the levels found in food. Regulatory bodies like the FDA and EFSA oversee the safety of food enzymes, and this ingredient does not have any widespread controversies associated with its use.
