Animal rennet to be used in the manufacture of cheddar cheese. Rennet (/ ˈ r ɛ n ɪ t /) is a complex set of enzymes produced in the stomachs of ruminant mammals. Chymosin, its key component, is a protease enzyme that curdles the casein in milk. In addition to chymosin, rennet contains other enzymes, such as pepsin and a lipase.
Rennet is an enzyme, originally collected from the stomach of a milk-fed calf (natural rennet). This enzyme is responsible for the coagulation of the milk proteins to produce curds. Cheese produced this way is neither vegetarian nor kosher. Coagulation can also be achieved using acids, but this method yields lower-quality cheddar.
Chymosin / ˈ k aɪ m ə s ɪ n / or rennin / ˈ r ɛ n ɪ n / is a protease found in rennet.It is an aspartic endopeptidase belonging to MEROPS A1 family. It is produced by newborn ruminant animals in the lining of the abomasum to curdle the milk they ingest, allowing a longer residence in the bowels and better absorption.
A female bovine that has not yet had a calf is known as a heifer. An adult female that has had her first calf (or second calf, depending upon regional usage) is called a cow. Steers and heifers can sometimes be colloquially referred to as "cows," especially by non-agricultural people who are not familiar with the appropriate terminology.
The abomasum, also known as the maw, [1] rennet-bag, [1] or reed tripe, [1] is the fourth and final stomach compartment in ruminants. It secretes rennet, which is used in cheese creation. The word abomasum (ab-"away from" + omasum "intestine of an ox") is from Neo-Latin and it was first used in English in 1706. It is possibly from the Gaulish ...
Aged caprino. Caprino is an Italian cheese traditionally made from whole or skimmed goat's milk.The name of the cheese derives from the Italian word for goat, capra.With modern methods of production, the cheese is made from cow's milk as well or a combination of both cow's and goat's milks.
Pagliata (or, in Romanesco dialect, pajata) is a traditional Roman dish primarily using the intestine of a young calf . As it has only eaten milk, the resulting dish is similar to cheese in a sausage casing. It is usually plaited for serving.
Or look and ask for cheeses produced with calf-rennet if you accept my above statement - there is no meat in the rennet - it is only purified enzymes. (Wolfgang 11:13, 29 January 2007 (UTC)) just an addition: according to official figures in the EC, the average livetime of a milk cow is 2.7 lactation periods.
