Determine the
effect of Calcium
ions on the
coagulation of
milk proteins
- The coagulation of
milk in infants is done
by the enzyme Rennin
- This is important as it stops the rapid
passage of milk through the stomach
of small mammals (calfs). NO
DIGESTION OF PROTEINS
- In the presence of
calcium ions Rennin
irreversibly changes
casein (milk protein)
into paracasein as that
pesin can act upon it
- More active in acidic conditions of the
stomach
- Rennet is the
name given to any
ezymatic preparation
that coagulates
milk
- Proteolytic
enzyme
