Lipomod® 768MDP is a mixed fungal lipase. It is active against all 3 positions on triacylglycerol substrates (fat); hydrolysing short, medium, and long chain fatty acids. It produces a free fatty acid profile with subtle sweet undertones. Since it is a non-animal product it is useful for vegetarian and kosher products. Lipases hydrolyse triglycerides to liberate free fatty acids (FFA). These enzymes are widespread throughout nature, and they possess different activities and specificities towards triacylglycerol substrates (fat). The free fatty acid profile (amount and type of FFA) contributes to the difference in flavor from one cheese to another. For Enzyme Modified Cheese (EMC), lipases are used to produce specific concentrated flavors. Lipomod® 768MDP can be suitable for use in other flavor applications.
