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 .
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.
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.
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).
18 Οκτ 2024 · Legend has it that while traveling through the desert, he stored milk in a bag made from an animal's stomach. After a long, hot journey, he opened the bag to find the milk had curdled, and—voilà!—the first cheese was born.
