Lipase and the Pescatarian Diet
Lipase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the digestion of dietary fats. It is often used in the food industry to enhance the flavor and texture of certain products, particularly in dairy processing. Industrially, lipase is extracted from the stomachs and tongue glands of animals, although microbial and plant-based sources are also available. Its primary function is to break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol, which can improve the sensory properties of food.
