ABSTRACT
Gastric lipase has been demonstrated in some rennet paste preparations but not in commercial rennet extracts. Lamb gastric lipase had a pH optimum from 7.0 to 7.6 and was most stable at pH 7.0. It hydrolyzed tributyrin most rapidly at 45 C and ß-naphthyl laurate very slowly. Lamb gastric lipase hydrolyzed mono- and dibutyrins more rapidly than lamb pregastric esterase. It hydrolyzed milk fat very slowly but may have a role in cheese flavor development. Cheddar and Provolone cheeses were organoleptically preferred when gastric lipase preparations were included in their manufacture.
