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.
Cheese made with rennet from an animal who has not been ritually slaughtered is not kosher, due to the presence of non-kosher meat. Many hard cheeses contain less than one-sixtieth animal rennet, but non-kosher animal rennet is not bitul because the rennet is considered dovor ha-ma’amid (a material that gives a product its form).

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.
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.
There are also non-animal sources of rennet. Would you prefer it read, "There are also non-animal-derived substitutes for rennet which are commonly, if imprecisely, called 'rennet.'" That strikes me as a bit more precise but too wordy. --Craig Stuntz 15:28, 2 August 2006 (UTC) I am not freaky about this detail - really not.

The berries contain a rennet-like protease that can be used to clot milk for cheese production. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The plant is prone to leaf spot disease caused by Alternaria alternata . [ 7 ]
