Lipase -
Associated with the action of the enzyme lipase; may be accentuated by
late lactation, excessive agitation of raw milk and cream at critical
temperature of lipase activation (warming cold milk to 80º to 90°F.
and then cooling again to 40° to 50°F.), or prolonged storage of raw
cream at low temperatures which flavor the growth of lipolytic
organisms. These conditions may cause splitting of the fat into fatty
acids which are responsible for the particular flavor. The enzyme
lipase is inactivated by adequate pasteurization.
