Bovine milk contains several enzymes which can affect the quality of milk. One of these enzymes are lipases which hydrolyse the triacylglycerides in milk. In this process off-flavours, odour and product defects are generated. By controlling the enzymes activity, milk quality can be increased and therefore milk and dairy products can be stored for a longer time. This is desirable since the world de
