Rennet (/ ˈ r ɛ n ɪ t /) is a complex set of enzymes produced in the stomachs of ruminant mammals. Chymosin , its key component, is a protease enzyme that curdles the casein in milk. In addition to chymosin, rennet contains other enzymes, such as pepsin and a lipase .
4 Φεβ 2013 · The coagulating property of animal rennet is thought to have been discovered when one of our forebearers transported his or her milk inside a vessel made from a dried calf or lamb stomach. In transit, the rennet from the stomach transformed the liquid milk into chunks of curd and watery whey.
Rennet is the enzymatic preparation of two main acid proteolytic enzymes (chymosin and pepsin) secreted in the fourth stomach (abomasum) of unweaned ruminants (calves, lambs or kids). The use of rennet in cheesemaking dates back to approximately 6000BC (Fox and McSweeney, 1997).
19 Ιαν 2024 · Behind its delicious façade lies a rich history steeped in tradition, ingenuity, and a surprising discovery of a key ingredient – rennet.

The term rennet is usually dedicated to a functional enzyme preparation that is able to induce milk curd formation. Starting with natural rennet from the abomasal mucosa of ruminants, this chapter summarizes information on the manufacture and the application of coagulant enzymes in cheesemaking.
26 Ιουν 2024 · Origin and History. Rennet has been used in cheese production for thousands of years, with evidence of its use dating back to ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt. The word “rennet” itself comes from the Old French word “rennet,” meaning “to render firm.”
