Summary

The cheesemaking properties of recombinant chymosin from Escherichia coli were compared with those of standard rennet in parallel trials with three single strain starters. For each pair of cheeses the cheesemaking characteristics, recoveries of milk solids in the curds and compositions were similar. The rates and types of proteolysis and texture development during ripening between cheeses made with the two coagulants were not significantly different.
