Abstract: The production of a rennin of high milk coagulating activity and low proteolytic acitivity from a selected strain of Mucor miehei which is useful in cheese making.
Abstract: A process for preparing complex enzymes capable of hydrolyzing bacterial mucus. A fermentation medium is inoculated with an appropriate bacterial species, fermentation of said medium is promoted while monitoring the development of complex enzymes in the fermentation medium and the fermentation is suddenly stopped when the activity of complex enzymes in the medium reaches its maximum. This process provides a reduction of viscosity of the fermentation must in the production of commercial enzymes and secondary metabolites.

Abstract: A lipolytic enzyme preparation having 1 part of lipase activity to from 1 to about 10 parts of esterase activity is obtained from Mucor miehei. The enzyme preparation can be recovered substantially free of Mucor miehei rennet, and is useful for treating various triglyceride fats to provide desirable flavors.
Abstract: Fat absorption during frying of raw, starchy food products in fats and oils is reduced by coating the food surface prior to frying with an aqueous solution of alpha amylase enzyme.
