I don't know if it is an ensyme, but I do know that renit is the name of the additive that we use to turn milk into cheese.
Rennin, also known as chymosin, is the enzyme that the body uses to thicken milk by causing it to coagulate. It plays a key role in the digestion of milk protein and is commonly used in the production of cheese.
Rennin is an enzyme commonly used to separate milk solids from liquid whey in cheese-making processes. It helps coagulate the milk proteins, leading to the formation of curds, which can then be separated from the liquid whey.
Rennin, also known as chymosin, is an enzyme found in the stomach lining of calves. It can be isolated from the stomachs of calves or produced using biotechnology. Rennin is used in cheese making to coagulate milk, separating it into curds and whey.
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.
Mature milk contains whey protein and casein which do not coagulate n heating but coagulates with acidity( adding lemon ), however colostrum contains a high amount of lactoglobulin, to provide immunity to the newborn which makes the milk coagulate on heating.
Unlike other animal milks, camel milk does not coagulate easily and bovine rennet does not help to coagulate the milk effectively.
If you don't put milk in the fridge, the milk will coagulate. When you cut yourself the blood coagulates and the bleeding stops.
What is coagulate? What is it used for?
Rennin, also known as chymosin, can be isolated from the stomach lining of young calves or genetically engineered microorganisms like yeast or bacteria. It is commonly used in cheese-making to coagulate milk and form curds.
Rennin is a biological enzyme present in the stomach of infant mammals. It causes the milk to solidify which slows down the digestion of the milk. This is known as coagulation or curdling. This enables the infant to absorb more nutrients and proteins from the milk before it is excreted.
Once you boil the enzyme, it will be inactivated. Milk will have no effects of the enzyme.
Coagulate is the medical term meaning "to clot."
