Proprietary technology unlocks the hidden tastes and functionality in flavorful fats
Dairy fat molecules hold a hidden secret… the flavors locked up in their complex chemical bonds are hundreds of times more intense than those released upon consumption. Our mission at Butter Buds Food Ingredients is to unlock the full potential of those flavors, freeing them from their fat-laden bonds to work their magic in virtually every type of processed food product.

We have accomplished this through a proprietary enzyme modification process. Using tailored enzymes and specific time/temperature processes, we selectively break the molecular bonds and free the flavors. The result is concentrated dairy flavor… up to 400 times more intense than the original dairy commodity. Used at economically low levels, these flavors are still natural!

We then take these concentrated flavors and convert them to either free flowing spray dried powders or convenient pastes. So you can incorporate the natural taste of butter, cream or cheese in a convenient and economical form.

But the magic of Butter Buds® does not stop with flavor contribution alone! These ingredients offer additional functionalities, such as:

• Savings in total system ingredient costs
• Increasing product quality and value to the consumer
• Reducing total system fat content
• Enhancing mouth feel
• Enhancing other savory and sweet flavors
• Masking off-flavors
• “Rounding out” harsh notes in seasoning blends

Additionally, Butter Buds® products deliver almost no fat to the finished system, typically contributing less than .1% fat to foods in which they’re used.

These technologies do not limit themselves to dairy products such as butter, cream and cheese. We apply the same techniques to other flavorful fats, such as cocoa butter. Who knows what the future may hold?

Meanwhile, the technologies from Butter Buds Food Ingredients allow you to produce better tasting, more economical, healthier processed foods.
