Abstract: A method of recombinantly producing a non-bovine pre-prochymosin, prochymosin or chymosin derived from ruminant species including deer species, buffalo species, antelope species, giraffe species, ovine species and caprine species; Camelidae species such as Camelus dromedarius; porcine species; or Equidae species. The recombinant enzymes are used in milk coagulating compositions in cheese manufacturing based on cow's milk and milk from any animal species which are used in cheese manufacturing including camel's milk.

Abstract: The present invention describes a process for making cheese, comprising: a) adding to milk a carbohydrase selected from the group consisting of ?-galactosidase, N-acetyl-galactosaminidase and neuraminidase, b) incubating so as to partially deglycosylate ?-casein in the milk, and c) during or after step b) conditions causing clotting of the milk.

Abstract: A process for making cheese including: a) adding to cheesemilk a transglutaminase, incubating for a suitable period, b) incubating with a rennet so as to cause clotting, and c) separating whey from the coagulate, and d) processing the coagulate into cheese. Cheese products produced by said process are contemplated and to the use of transglutaminase for maintaining proteins in the cheese material during a conventional cheese-making process.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for obtaining limited specific hydrolysis of proteins using a Glu/Asp specific protease to produce peptides with C-terminal Glu or Asp. The protease is obtained from Bacillus licheniformis, has a mass of about 23,600, is inhibited by diisopropyl fluoride but not by phenylmethane sulfonylfluoride, and has a pH of maximal activity between 6.5 and 10.0. The proteins are treated with the protease at neutral pH and the reaction terminated by raising the temperature above 70.degree. C. or lowering the pH below 5.0 to obtain the hydrolysate. The process may include a second protease which is specific for Arg/Lys, and produces peptides with C-terminal Arg or Lys.

Abstract: A process for producing cheese, in which an enzyme preparation comprising a specific protease is added to cheese milk in the course of the process.

Abstract: A process of producing cheese in improved yields, wherein a recombinant aspartic protease, derived from Rhizomucor miehei or Rhizomucor pusillus, is added to milk in sufficient amounts to effect clotting of the milk, after which the resulting curd is processed in a manner known per se for making cheese.

Abstract: A plastein material is made by reversing the normal hydrolytic activity of a serine protease. The protease produces a plastein material by acting on a proteinaceous substrate. The substrate is preferably whey, casein or soy protein.
