Application

Rennet from Mucor miehei has been used:
  • for milk coagulation trials
  • to coagulate the untreated milk and patatin treated milk
  • to coagulate the defatted samples of mammary secretions

Studies have shown that heat treatment of milk causes an increase in the rennet-induced coagulation times. This time was proportional to the temperature of the heat treatment.

General description
