Yes, rennet can be substituted with vinegar, but the results may differ. Vinegar can curdle milk, creating a similar effect to rennet, but it will yield a different texture and flavor in the cheese. Typically, vinegar is better suited for fresh cheeses like ricotta rather than aged varieties. For best results, follow a recipe that specifically calls for vinegar as a coagulant.
Yes.
white wine vinegar, Champagne vinegar, apple cider vinegar my first choices
Yes. All rennet does it make the cheese acidic. You can make very basic cheese by adding a dash of vinegar to milk, but it wont taste very nice!
No. White vinegar is acidic while burrow's solution is alkaline due to the aluminum acetate content.
Lipase and rennet serve different functions in cheese production. Rennet is an enzyme that coagulates milk, causing it to curdle and form the solid curds needed for cheese. Lipase, on the other hand, is an enzyme that breaks down fats and is primarily used to enhance flavor in cheese rather than to facilitate curd formation. Therefore, lipase cannot effectively substitute for rennet in the cheese-making process.
You can substitute vinegar or lime juice for lemon juice in a recipe.
You can substitute regular mustard or a mix of mustard powder and vinegar for Dijon mustard in a recipe.
rennet
Rennet is used in the production of cheese.
Yes, it states on its website that it used a rennet derived from yeast (not animal rennet)
Yes, but it depends on the recipe: cider vinegar has a sweetness to it (like apples), whereas balsamic vinegar has a really strong, tannic taste (like a heavy red wine). If you don't have cider vinegar, but you think balsamic would taste too strong, use lemon juice, plain vinegar, orange juice, dry white wine, etc. If you aren't baking with the vinegar, then you can also opt to omit it.
No. Rennet is an enzyme, butter is mainly milkfat.
