Article Abstract
The ratio of milk-clotting activity to proteolytic activity (MC/PA) was used as an index to determine the quality of milk-clotting enzyme. Solid-state fermentation on wheat bran for 5 days at room temperature gave optimal production for enzyme by Rhizomucor miehei and R. pusillus. A ratio of wheat bran to moisture of 1:0.6 (w/v) gave best results. Adding skim milk powder to the media of R. miehei did not improve the MC/PA ratio but 4% (w/w) of the powder did improve the ratio with R. pusillus. Co-cultivation of R. miehei with R. pusillus did not change the MC/PA ratio.

Background: Milk clotting enzymes, essential for milk coagulation in cheese production, are obtained from the stomach of young ruminants, an expensive and limited source. This study was accomplished by finding a suitable alternative. Bacterial isolates recovered from honey were screened for milk clotting enzyme activity.

Thermolysin (TLN) is a microbial highly-priced thermostable metallo-endoprotease with complementary substrate specificity to those of proteases widely used in science and industry for protein digestion and milk-clotting. This study is the first to immobilize TLN on aminated superparamagnetic nanoparticles (FeO@silica-NH) aiming for higher stability, recoverability, reusability, and applicability in proteolysis and as a microbial rennet-like milk-clotting enzyme. The nanobiocatalyst developed (FeO@silica-TLN) displays hydrolytic activity on a synthetic TLN substrate and, apparently, was fully recovered from reaction media by magnetic decantation.

Moose () recombinant chymosin with a milk-clotting activity of 86 AU/mL was synthesized in the expression system. After precipitation with ammonium sulfate and chromatographic purification, a sample of genetically engineered moose chymosin with a specific milk-clotting activity of 15,768 AU/mg was obtained, which was used for extensive biochemical characterization of the enzyme. The threshold of the thermal stability of moose chymosin was 55 °C; its complete inactivation occurred after heating at 60 °C.

Milk-clotting enzyme (MCE) is the essential active agents in dairy processing. The traditional MCE is mainly obtained from animal sources, in which calf rennet is the most widely used in cheese industry. Traditional MCE substitute is becoming necessary due to its limited production and increased cheese consumption.
