Eco-friendly milk clotting enzyme extracted from papaya latex, offering clean-label solutions for dairy, vegan cheese, and fermentation-based formulations
Chymosin / Rennet is a natural milk-coagulating enzyme derived from the papaya plant (Carica papaya), serving as a clean-label alternative to animal rennet. It hydrolyzes κ-casein in milk, initiating coagulation for cheese production. Chibio Biotech offers two activity grades – 1,000 U/g and 10,000 U/g – designed to fit various formulation and cost needs in cheese making, plant-based dairy, fermentation, and bioprocessing.
