ABSTRACT
Rennet pastes obtained by maceration of gastric tissues from suckling kids are used traditionally to produce some artisanal cheeses in Spain. Besides milkclotting function, rennet pastes provide proteolytic activity and lipolytic system, essentially pregastric, necessary in the development of piquant flavor typical of these cheeses. A simple and reproducible procedure allows us to obtain a standardized rennet paste that posses the desired activity and is of good microbiological quality. Concomitantly, a kid pregastric esterase (KPGE) was purified to homogeneity. The purification procedure was based on an aqueous extract of hygienized rennet paste (HRP), which was chromatographed on ...
