Product Details

✅ Chymosin / Rennet – Plant-Based Coagulating Enzyme for Cheese, Dairy & Vegan Fermentation

Eco-friendly milk clotting enzyme extracted from papaya latex, offering clean-label solutions for dairy, vegan cheese, and fermentation-based formulations


🌿 Product Overview

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.

📊 Comparison: Chymosin / Rennet 1,000 U/g vs. 10,000 U/g

Feature Chymosin 1,000 U/g Chymosin 10,000 U/g
Application Scope Small-scale cheese production, artisan or traditional use Industrial-scale cheese making, high-volume processors
Recommended Dosage 1–3 g per 100 L milk 0.1–0.3 g per 100 L milk
Formulation Use Easier for manual mixing; precise dosing without dilution Best diluted in water or premix for even distribution
Handling Convenience Simple usage for direct-add powders Requires careful weighing or pre-blending due to high potency
Cost Efficiency Lower cost per kg, but higher dosage needed Higher cost per kg, but much lower usage – economical long term
Target Customer Craft cheese makers, pilot batches, small dairies Large dairy plants, contract manufacturers, export buyers
Shelf Life & Storage 12 months in sealed, dry conditions Same (identical storage)
Formulation Compatibility Suitable for low-sensitivity recipes Ideal for clean-label, low-volume formula applications
Packaging 20–25 kg drums or custom Same (with more potent material)

✅ Summary Recommendation

  • Choose Chymosin 1,000 U/g if you:

    • Prefer more visible powder volume per batch for artisan processing

    • Work in small or mid-size operations without complex equipment

    • Want a budget-friendly entry point with moderate enzyme strength

  • Choose Chymosin 10,000 U/g if you:

    • Need compact dosing with high efficiency

    • Produce at industrial scale where precision and cost-efficiency matter

    • Formulate products with minimal excipients (clean-label, high-potency demand)
