Changes liquid milk into a (semi) solid food. When milk is a large part of the diet it is important that it stays in the stomach long enough for the gastric juices to do their job.

What happens to the activity of rennin as it passes from the stomach into the small intestine?

Rennin, an enzyme primarily found in the stomach, plays a crucial role in curdling milk. As the chyme moves from the stomach into the small intestine, the pH increases and becomes less acidic. This change in pH inactivates rennin, reducing its activity, as it is adapted to function optimally in the acidic environment of the stomach. In the small intestine, other enzymes like peptidases take over the digestion of proteins.

What does rennin do in the stomach?

Rennin is an enzyme produced in the stomach that helps curdle milk by breaking down casein, a protein found in milk. This is an important step in the digestion of milk proteins, allowing them to be more effectively digested and absorbed in the small intestine.


A milk protein-digesting enzyme found in children?

It's not rennin... christ. Lactase is needed to digest the Lactose, Protease is needed to digest the casein and whey protein and Lipase is needed to digest the fats (lipids) in the milk.


Milk protein-digesting enzymes found in children?

Children possess enzymes called rennin and lactase that help digest milk proteins. Rennin aids in breaking down casein, a milk protein, while lactase helps digest lactose, a sugar found in milk. These enzymes are vital for the proper digestion of milk and dairy products in children.
