Could lipase be substituted for rennet for the production of cheese?

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.

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.


How does coagulation of casein proteins take place using Rennet or Acid?

Casein has a negative charge and it is dispersed in milk, to make cheese one must denature casein to coagulate it. Using the enzyme rennin, found in rennet, the casein will coagulate.
