SpiceIT® M100 was developed to combine the flavor performance cheesemakers expect from traditional animal lipases with the advantages of a microbial alternative. Designed through precision fermentation, it selectively releases short-chain fatty acids that contribute to a bold, piquant flavor profile while minimizing compounds associated with soapiness.
A different path to distinctive flavor
Meet SpiceIT® M100, the world’s first microbial lipase with an animal flair. Create bold, authentic flavor profiles without unwanted soapiness, while opening new opportunities for certification, whey valorization, and innovation.
Flavor creates opportunity. Delivering it is the challenge.
Taste drives cheese choice, creating a powerful opportunity for differentiation. Yet bold, authentic flavor can be difficult to achieve. Animal-derived lipases face supply and certification constraints, while conventional microbial lipases may cause soapy notes and remain active in whey after pasteurization.
