Microbial Rennet (also known as Microbial Coagulant, Coagulante Microbiano, Cuajo, etc.) is a food grade enzyme derived through the controlled fermentation of special strains of Rhizomucor miehei. It contains the specific protease activity that makes it effective as a milk clotting enzyme and a reliable microbial rennet in cheese production, which can be used to produce cheese and casein and replace rennet from animal origin. Punature provides high-quality microbial rennet products, marketed in multiple concentrations to cover the specific needs of each dairy industry in liquid, granular and powder form.

Characteristics: Microbial rennet is a little bit salty, good stability, soluble to water; barely soluble to ethanol, chloroform or ethyl ether. As a high-performance rennet from microbiological origin, it shows a clotting performance very similar to a corresponding type of calf rennet. Enzyme activity is affected by processing conditions, milk composition, calcium concentration and pH. It is particularly suitable for making vegetarian cheese and is an ideal microbial coagulant choice for cheesemakers seeking to replace animal-based rennet.
