What is rennet

Rennet is the substance used to curd milk for cheese.

The active substance in rennet is a proteolytic digestive enzyme called Chymosin. It serves the young animal to curd the milk in his stomach; the cheese maker will therefore use it for these purposes. Chymosin attacks a specific fraction of milk proteins (casein Kappa) and destroys them. This destabilizes the structure of the milk, thus causing coagulation.

It is for this active principle that rennet is sometimes used in the composition of yoghurts as a ferment. But in general, rennet is used to make faisselle type white cheese, for yoghurt, it is necessary to use lactic ferments.

If you use rennet for home yogurt too liquid try milk powder, 1 to 2 tablespoons should be suitable to firm your yogurt.
