In this study, the potential use of Moringa oleifera as a clotting agent of different types of milk (whole, skim, and soy milk) was investigated. M. oleifera seed extract showed high milk-clotting activity followed by flower extract. Specific clotting activity of seed extract was 200 times higher than that of flower extract. Seed extract is composed by four main protein bands (43.6, 32.2, 19.4,...

Milk clotting enzyme (M CE) produced by: Rhizomucor miehei was purified and characterized.The enzyme was purified 220.29-fold with specific activity about 14444.2 U/mg protein byultrafiltration, ammonium sulfate fractionation, Sephacryl S-300 chromatography. The maximumenzyme activity was at 65°C.The milk clotting activity was decreased steadily as pH is increased and indicated maximumactivity ...

Eight male Holstein calves 7 to 10 d of age were fed a milk replacer containing a skim milk powder subjected to low-temperature drying either with or without addition of an oxalate-NaOH buffer known to prevent curd formation. The calves were used in a completely randomized design to study the effect of milk clotting on digestibility and blood parameters. Plasma glucose and plasma insulin were s...

Article history: Received on: 14/10/2015 Revised on: 04/11/2015 Accepted on: 15/11/2015 Available online: 27/12/2015 The study was undertaken to evaluate milk clotting and proteolytic activity of protein fractions of seeds of Lagenaria siceraria. Protein fractions were isolated by the method of differential solubility, and their protein contents were estimated using Bio-Rad protein assay reagen...

This study was aimed to extract milk-clotting enzyme from sunflower seeds and to determine its potentiality for manufacturing white soft cheese from cows and goats milk. The seeds were blended and extracted using two types of buffers and milk-clotting and proteolytic activities were evaluated. The enzyme was partially purified using ammonium sulfate fractionation techniques. Results indicated t...

BACKGROUND Microbial milk-clotting enzymes are valued as calf rennet substitutes in the cheese industry. The worldwide increase of cheese production coupled with a reduced supply of calf rennet has prompted a search for calf rennet substitutes, including microbial and plant rennets. However, most plant rennets have proved unsuitable because they impart a bitter taste to the cheese. Microbial re...

The screening of a gene library of the milk-clotting strain Myxococcus xanthus 422 constructed in Escherichia coli allowed the description of eight positive clones containing 26 open reading frames. Only three of them (cltA, cltB, and cltC) encoded proteins that exhibited intracellular milk-clotting ability in E. coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Pichia pastoris expression systems.
