Proteases hydrolyze the peptide bonds of proteins into peptides and amino acids, being
found in all living organisms, and are essential for cell growth and differentiation. Proteolytic …

Plant proteases used as milk coagulants in cheesemaking are reviewed in this paper. Plant
proteases have been used as milk coagulants in cheesemaking for centuries either as crude …

The reduced availability and the increasing prices of calf rennet, coupled to the growing
global demand of cheese has led, worldwide, to explore alternative clotting enzymes …

Plant rennets hold an important position among various coagulants used in cheese

This work reports the detection and characterization of caseinolytic and milk-clotting
activities from Moringa oleifera flowers. Proteins extracted from flowers were precipitated …

Due to the need for calf rennet alternatives, many attempts have been made to find new
proteases. A novel cysteine protease with milk-clotting activity was purified from Ficus …

A thermostable acid protease from M. indicus leaves was purified 10-fold using a 4-step
protocol. We were able to isolate a purified protease fraction with a molecular weight of 50 …
