Rennet is a food ingredient used in the production of cheese and other dairy products. It is a complex of enzymes produced in the stomachs of young mammals, including cows, goats, and sheep. Rennet is used to coagulate milk, separating it into solid curds and liquid whey. The curds are then used to make cheese. Rennet is also used in the production of other dairy products, such as yogurt, cream, and ice cream. Rennet is available in both natural and synthetic forms. Natural rennet is derived from the stomachs of young mammals, while synthetic rennet is produced through microbial fermentation. Natural rennet is preferred by some cheese makers due to its superior flavor and texture. The rennet market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering both natural and synthetic rennet products. Major players in the market include Chr. Hansen, DuPont, Fonterra, and DSM. Other companies in the market include GTC Nutrition, Kerry Group, and FrieslandCampina. Show Less Read more
