What it is

Lipase is an enzyme that helps break down fats. It can be produced by plants, animals, and microorganisms. In food production, it is often derived from microbial sources and purified.

Why it's used

Lipase is used as a processing aid to improve the flavor and texture of foods, particularly dairy products. It can enhance the breakdown of fats in cheese, contributing to a richer flavor profile, and is also used in baked goods.

Health notes

Lipase is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Enzymes like lipase are common in the digestive system and are broken down during digestion. International bodies such as JECFA have evaluated enzymes used in food processing. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Lipase is not derived from any of the FDA's nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
