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 .
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. 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.
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.
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 · 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.
7 Ιουν 2023 · Animal rennet is made by extracting enzymes from an abomasum, the fourth compartment of the ruminant digestive system. It is most often obtained from dairy livestock that are less than one month old and still feeding solely on milk.
