Abstract

Edam cheese was made from cow's milk. Rennin-like enzyme from
Rhizomucor miehei a rennet substitute was used as milk clotting enzyme in
manufactured of Edam cheese
. The cheese results showed that, the breakdown of
protein content(SNffN. NPNffN). and TVFA were higher in Edam cheese made with
rennin-Jtke enzyme or its mixture with rennet enzyme than in control cheese
throughout the ripening period. Moreover experimental cheese gained acceptable
body with a good flavour during the ripening period.
From the obtained data, it is concluded that using rennin-like enzyme of
Rhizomucor miehei fOI Edam cheese manufacture is acceptable, enhanced flavour
development. and improved cheese quality during ripening.
