SpiceIT® AC is a lipase originating from the epiglottis of freshly slaughtered calves which catalyzes the breakdown of fat, resulting in the formation of free fatty acids.

Free fatty acids contribute to improved flavor of various cheese types.

Animal lipases result in the formation of shorter chain fatty acids which contribute to a piquant flavor characteristic of unpasteurized cheese.

SpiceIT® AC can be used for improving the flavor profile of various cheese types including Italian, Italian-style and Feta cheese.

Desired flavor profiles are highly subjective and vary according to individual.

As a result, selection and dosage of lipases should be adjusted for each market.

It is advised to adjust dosage levels according to desired flavor profiles.
