Use of enzyme preparations in cheesemaking (Other than rennet)

This paper discusses the wide use of enzymes, other than rennet, in the cheese-ripening process. It examines, in particular, the effect of certain enzymes on the flavour, texture and consistency of natural cheese. Furthermore, it covers the area of enzyme-modified cheese and its application as a food ingredient. Finally, it outlines the legislative framework for the incorporation of these enzymes into food products.
