Survival And Distribution Of Rennin During Cheddar Cheese Manufacture, John Ta-Chuang Wang May 1969

Survival And Distribution Of Rennin During Cheddar Cheese Manufacture, John Ta-Chuang Wang

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Residual rennin in cheese whey and curd was measured by using a special sensitive substrate. The substrate was made by reconstituting 6 g NDM in 500 ml of buffer containing 0.2 M CaCl2, 0.5 M cacodylic acid and 0.2 M triethanolamine at pH 5.7. Cheese curd was blended into a 1:7 slurry (1 part curd, 7 parts water), and 1.67% sodium chloride was added to the whey and slurry to liberate residual rennin from casein. The residual rennin in cheese whey and slurry were determined simultaneously with an identical sample containing known rennin activity. Samples with known activity …
