Highlights

Since a long time, the conventional milk clotting enzyme, calf rennet has been derived from the stomach of suckling calves and being used as coagulant for manufacturing of cheese worldwide
As the supply of calf rennet is going to be reduced by the manufacturers, the production of cheese is under consideration for research in milk clotting enzymes from the alternative source
Milk clotting activity In this experiment, all the test protein fractions were evaluated for their milk clotting activity

Summary

Introduction

The conventional milk clotting enzyme, calf rennet has been derived from the stomach of suckling calves and being used as coagulant for manufacturing of cheese worldwide. As the supply of calf rennet is going to be reduced by the manufacturers, the production of cheese is under consideration for research in milk clotting enzymes from the alternative source. The alternative sources such as various animals, plants and microbial proteases have been considered as milk coagulants (Shieh et al, 2009). The fruit contains vitamin-B complex, choline, vitamin-C, βcarotene, Cucurbitacins, fibres and polyphenol It contains two sterols namely campestero and sitosterol. L siceraria was clamied by Kumar etal for immunoprotective, antitumor, anti HIV and antiproliferative properties (Kumar et al, 2012)
