Question

Which enzyme is used along with lactic acid bacteria in cheese production to curdle milk?

Options

• Rennin

• Lipase

• Pepsin

• Amylase

Answer 1

Rennin is the enzyme used along with lactic acid bacteria to curdle milk in cheese production. This enzyme causes casein, the main milk protein, to coagulate and separate, which is the first step in the cheese-making process before ripening.
