Rennet Market-An Overview
Rennets are a group of enzymes, which are synthesized by the gastric cells obtained from the stomach of animals such as cattle.
Rennets are being used in the milk coagulation process. The substance coagulates milk, by maintaining the normal pH of the milk.
The key component of rennets is chymosin, a protease enzyme that assists in curdling the casein component in milk. Rennets also comprise other enzymes such as pepsin and lipase. Rennets can be derived from two sources: plant-based and nettles. Plant-based rennets have been found to be less effective than nettles.
The rennet market worldwide is expected to witness strong growth during the forecast period between 2021 and 2031.
The COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse effect on the rennets demand, owing to the decrease in the manufacturing of cheese due to the partial or complete shutdown of manufacturing facilities.
