Lipolyzed Butter Oil And Natural And Artificial Flavors

Lipolyzed butter oil is a dairy-derived fat made from butter. It is produced by breaking down butterfat to enhance its flavor and aroma characteristics. This process can involve enzymes or other methods to create specific flavor profiles.

Manufacturers use lipolyzed butter oil to add a rich, buttery flavor and aroma to foods. It functions as a flavor enhancer, contributing a desirable taste and mouthfeel. It is commonly found in baked goods, dairy products, and savory items like frozen breakfast meals.

Lipolyzed butter oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The FDA has not set specific regulations for its use beyond GRAS status. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar dairy-derived fats, but no specific health concerns are associated with its typical use in food. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from normal consumption.
