Rennet

Rennet is an enzyme that is produced in the stomachs of all mammals, and plays an integral role in the production of most cheeses. Rennet causes a mammal's milk to coagulate, separating it into both liquid and solid elements. The rennet is usually taken from the fourth stomach of a young calf.

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.

Rennet is a complex of enzymes produced in the stomachs of ruminant mammals. Chymosin, its key component, is a protease enzyme that curdles the casein in milk.

However acids from acidic fruit (e.g. lemons, limes, oranges) can also be used to curdle the casein in milk. But it operates by a different mechanism than rennet does.

Why is the use of rennet - the stomach lining of calves - in preparing cheese not seen as a mixture of meat and dairy according to kosher standards?

The simplest way to answer this is that a miniscule portion of meat in a dairy product that does not impart taste is permitted. The separation between meat and dairy need not be absolute to the level of microbes, but to the level where the taste is noticeable and the quantity is still small. When rennet is used, it is primarily the microscopic enzymes that are added to the milk. However, rennet from non-kosher animals (such as cows that are slaughtered incorrectly or pigs) makes the dish non-kosher as a more stringent measure by rabbis to prevent the consumption of non-kosher animals.

1 tablet of rennet is how much liquid rennet?

One teaspoon of liquid rennet is reported to be equivalent to one Junket Rennet tablet.
