Solution
The correct option is B Rennet
Animal rennet (bovine chymosin) is conventionally used as a milk-clotting agent in dairy industry for the manufacture of quality cheeses with good flavour and texture. Owing to an increase in demand for cheese production world wide, i.e., 4% per annum over the past 20 years, approximating 13.533 million tons – coupled with reduced supply of calf rennet, has therefore led to a search for rennet substitutes, such as microbial rennets. At present, microbial rennet is used for one-third of all the cheese produced world wide.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
