Ailazyme® LPLA1 is a food grade fungal phospholipase-A1 enzyme preparation for hydrolyzing phospholipids to lysophospholipids in the dairy industry as a processing aid during cheese, especially Mozzarella and Pasta Filata type, manufacturing. The enzyme is applied prior before coagulation. The treatment reduces fat losses and increases cheese yield due to improved fat and moisture retention in the cheese curd and improved texture in the end product. The usage of Ailazyme® LPLA1 has been proven effective in reducing the fat losses into the whey. Addition of Ailazyme® LPLA1 to the cheese milk has given a significant increase in cheese yield in production of Mozzarella cheeses and other cheese types. Ailazyme® LPLA1 is a phospholipase, which cleaves the p-1 position in phospholipids, an important part of the fat globule membrane. The application of phospholipase a significant increased cheese yield of 1-3% after moisture adjustment.
