  • Preferential entrainment of enzymes in cheese curds
    Patent number: 4927644
    Abstract: The invention relates to a novel method for preferentially entraining a lipase or protease substantially into cheese curds when making curds and whey. An insoluble enzyme particle size of at least about 0.20 microns is selected or formed, and upon curd formation the insoluble particle will substantially be entrained therein, thus, leading to a substantial reduction in the amount of enzyme lost in the whey without the need to add additional complexing or immobilizing agents.
