19 Ιαν 2024 · Behind its delicious façade lies a rich history steeped in tradition, ingenuity, and a surprising discovery of a key ingredient – rennet. Unfolding the question, “How was rennet discovered?” we delve into historical accounts and scientific discoveries that have shaped our understanding and usage of this crucial enzyme complex.
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.
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).
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.
26 Ιουν 2024 · Discover the fascinating process of rennet production, from traditional extraction to modern microbial and FPC methods, and explore the importance of quality control in ensuring the purity and activity of this essential cheese-making ingredient.
26 Ιουν 2024 · Get to know rennet, a vital component in cheese making, and explore its definition, history, types, and impact on cheese flavor and texture, as well as its role in vegetarian, vegan, and allergy diets.
17 Αυγ 2021 · In simple terms, rennet works by breaking down the casein protein chains in milk into smaller protein fragments. As a result, this creates a coagulated mass (the curd) and leaves behind a liquid portion (the whey). The curd contains most of the casein protein and fat from the milk.
