Enzyme systems
Enzyme systems are offered to either supply flavor to cheese or dairy applications or to coagulate cheese milk.
Lipase
Pre-gastric lipase enzymes are sourced primarily from young ruminant animals and provide specific flavors traditionally found in high flavored cheeses like romano, feta and provolone. These products are available in both kosher and non-kosher formats. Animal sources of the enzymes include calf, kid goat and lamb. Microbial (non-animal) enzymes manufactured from fermentation of Rhizomucor pusillus are also available.
Coagulants
Coagulants are all produced using non-genetically modified animal or microbial sources. Coagulant selection is based upon the type of cheese being produced, the source of the milk solids to be coagulated and cheese yield requirements.
Some Cargill products are only approved for use in certain geographies, end uses, and/or at certain usage levels. It is the customer's responsibility to determine, for a particular geography, that (i) the Cargill product, its use and usage levels, (ii) the customer's product and its use, and (iii) any claims made about the customer's product, all comply with applicable laws and regulations.
