Enyzme-modified cheese (EMC) is a concentrated cheese flavour ingredient that is produced from cheese[1] or cheese curd[2] by treatment with enzymes such as proteases, lipases and esterases.[3]
EMCs are used in paste or dry form,[1][2] and are added to foods at dosages of around 1-2%[4] or up to 5%[5] to provide a cheesy flavour. They are usually 10-30 times as intense in flavour as natural cheeses,[1] but have a different taste profile from the original cheese.[2] The enzyme treatment can improve the performance of processed cheese processes.[1]
In the European Union, EMC is considered a flavouring preparation when used without other flavourings.[6] In the United States, EMCs have Generally recognized as safe status.[6]
