General description
Rennet, an enzyme extract is mainly used in the dairy industry. Chymosin is the main constituent of rennet. In commercial preparation of rennet, other proteases like bovine pepsin is also present in varying concentrations.
Application
Rennet from Mucor miehei has been used:
- for milk coagulation trials
- to coagulate the untreated milk and patatin treated milk
- to coagulate the defatted samples of mammary secretions
Studies have shown that heat treatment of milk causes an increase in the rennet-induced coagulation times. This time was proportional to the temperature of the heat treatment.

Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis (referred to here as L. lactis) is a model lactic acid bacterium and one of the main constituents of the mesophilic cheese starter used for producing soft or semihard cheeses. Most dairy L. lactis strains grow
Potato patatin generates short-chain fatty acids from milk fat that contribute to flavour development in cheese ripening
