Renneting, enzymatic process

Foltmann, B. 1959A. On the enzymatic and coagulation stages of the renneting process. XV Int. Dairy Congr. Proc. 2, 655. 

The rennet coagulation of milk is a two-stage process the primary phase involves the enzymatic production of para-casein and TCA-soluble peptides [(glyco) macropeptides] while the secondary phase involves the aggregation or gelation of para-casein Ca at temperatures >20°C the two stages overlap somewhat. The subject has been reviewed by Fox (1984) and Dal-gleish (1992, 1993).
