YOTAREN® Chymosin (FPC)
YOTAREN® Chymosin is a high-purity, food-grade milk clotting enzyme preparation produced by the submerged fermentation of a selected strain of Kluyveromyces lactis. The active enzyme is 100% Chymosin, ensuring the highest degree of specificity for milk casein.

It functions identically to traditional calf rennet but is produced entirely via fermentation. This makes it a superior, highly stable, and economical alternative that is fully suitable for vegetarian, Kosher, and Halal cheese production. It is designed for both artisanal and large-scale industrial cheese production, offering precise dosage control and consistent coagulation times.

1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

YOTAREN® Chymosin is a high-purity, food-grade milk clotting enzyme preparation produced by the submerged fermentation of a selected strain of Kluyveromyces lactis. The active enzyme is 100% Chymosin, ensuring the highest degree of specificity for milk casein.

It functions identically to traditional calf rennet but is produced entirely via fermentation. This makes it a superior, highly stable, and economical alternative that is fully suitable for vegetarian, Kosher, and Halal cheese production. It is designed for both artisanal and large-scale industrial cheese production, offering precise dosage control and consistent coagulation times.

2. ACTION PRINCIPLE & KEY BENEFITS

Scientific Action: The enzyme specifically hydrolyzes the peptide bond between Phenylalanine (Phe105) and Methionine (Met106) of kappa-casein. This highly targeted cleavage destabilizes the casein micelles, causing them to aggregate and form a firm coagulum (curd) in the presence of calcium ions (Ca²⁺).

  • High Specificity: Ensures strong curd formation with minimal non-specific proteolysis.
  • Clean Flavor Profile: Due to its low non-specific activity, it prevents the formation of bitter peptides during long cheese ripening periods.
  • Optimized Yield: Delivers excellent curd formation and maximizes cheese yield, comparable or superior to high-quality animal rennet.
  • Versatility: Perfect for Mozzarella, Cheddar, hard, semi-hard, soft, mold-ripened, and low-fat cheeses.
  • Stable & Economical: Offers a stable price and constant quality, unaffected by the seasonality or disease risks associated with animal rennet.
  • Texture Control: Ensures cheese maintains its texture over time—easy to cut, grate, and shred.

6. APPLICATION & DOSAGE GUIDELINES

Note: Exact dosage may vary based on milk properties (pH, calcium content, protein level), temperature, and desired clotting time (typically 25-40 minutes).

Product VariantRecommended Dosage (per 1,000 Liters of milk)
Chymosin 600 L75 – 85 ml
Chymosin 1000 L45 – 55 ml
Chymosin 2200 Powder20 g – 23 g
Chymosin 30000 Powder1.5 g – 1.8 g (Precision weighing required)

General Usage Instructions:

  1. Dilution: Dilute the required amount of enzyme in 10 to 20 times its volume/weight of cool, potable, chlorine-free water. (Chlorine severely reduces rennet activity).
  2. Addition: Add the diluted solution immediately to the milk.
  3. Mixing: Stir vigorously for 1 to 3 minutes to ensure homogenous distribution.
  4. Coagulation: Stop agitation and allow the milk to rest for 25–30 minutes at 32°C (or your specific processing temperature) until a firm coagulum (gel) is formed.
