| abstract |
The invention is a process for producing flavour enhancing esters from dairy sourced mono-, di-, or triglycerides. The process is a transesterification reaction between the mono-, di- or triglyceride and an alcohol in an aqueous medium in the presence of an esterase selected for its high transesterification activity. The esters may be used for flavouring in a variety of food products, particularly dairy products such as cheeses. |
