Rennet is an enzyme found in the stomach of young mammals and has been used for thousands of years in cheese making.

Certain plants contain similar enzymes and have been used to produce vegetable rennet. Genetic engineering has also been used to develop microbes that produce what is known as microbial rennet. All of these types of rennet work very well for making cheese. Citric acid can be used to make soft cheese, but to make hard cheese, some type of rennet is required. There is simply no substitute.
What is meant by Liquid Rennet?
Rennet is an enzyme that is made by baby calves to digest milk. It acts by cleaving off the tails of Kappa Casein that surround the casein micelle, which allows the casein micelles to get closer to each other, thus causing them to bond together and precipitate. Rennet can be made by either harvesting out of the stomachs of the boy calves, that the farmer does not want and so sends to the freezing works. It can also be made synthetically using microbes. Hence you can have calf rennet or microbial rennet. Calf rennet is generally more effective, but it costs more and there is a limited supply. Rennet is used in the dairy industry to make both cheese and rennet casein.
