What it is

Lipolyzed butter oil is a type of butter oil that has undergone a process called lipolysis. This process uses enzymes to break down the butterfat into smaller components, which can alter its flavor and aroma. It is derived from butter, a dairy product.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use lipolyzed butter oil to add a rich, buttery flavor and aroma to foods. It can also contribute to the texture and mouthfeel of products. It is often found in snacks like popcorn and nuts, as well as in frozen meals and baked goods.

Health notes

In the U.S., lipolyzed butter oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar butter-derived ingredients. There are no widespread health concerns associated with its typical consumption in foods.

Allergen info

Lipolyzed butter oil is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
