Lipase and the Vegan Diet

Lipase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the digestion of dietary fats. It is naturally produced in the pancreas and stomach of animals, where it helps to hydrolyze fats into fatty acids and glycerol. In the food industry, lipase is often extracted from animal sources to be used as a processing aid in the production of cheese, baked goods, and certain processed foods to enhance flavor and texture.
