SummaryCamembert cheeses were made with pasteurized skim milk or with ultrafiltered milk concentrated 2-fold, using either rennet or Mucor miehei proteinase as coagulant. Using rennet, the rapid acidification during cheesemaking increased enzyme retention and 55% was retained after 24 h. With the M. miehei proteinase, acidification had no effect and only 17% of it was retained after 24 h. The use of ultrafiltered milk resulted in less rennet being retained in the curd.

SUMMABYIsoelectric focusing and 2-dimensional electrophoresis were used to study the development of the pH 4·6-insoluble fraction during Camembert cheese ripening. Modifications of this fraction were due mainly to the action of 5 proteinases: rennet (chymosin + bovine pepsin), plasmin and Penicillium caseicolum aspartyl-and metalloproteinases. Rennet was inactive on β-casein, but acted very early on αs1-casein. However, rennet and P. caseicolum aspartyl-proteinase had a very similar action on the latter substrate, which prevented clear definition of the respective actions of these proteinases on αs1-casein after 7 d of ripening. Plasmin action on β-casein was important from 21 and 35 d of ripening at the surface and in the centre of the cheese respectively, suggesting an important influence of pH changes during maturation. The respective activities of the metallo-and aspartyl-proteinases of P. caseicolum were characterized and followed using β-casein degradation products as markers. The metallo-proteinase activity was detectable immediately after the development of the Penicillium (7 d), while that of the aspartyl-proteinase was observed 3 d later. Thereafter, the amount of β-casein degradation peptides resulting from the metalloproteinase decreased while that resulting from the aspartyl-proteinase increased, suggesting a more important role of the latter enzyme.

The Lactic Acid Bacteria with Milk Clotting Activity (MCA) were isolated from Bakasam, an Indonesian traditional fermented meat. The isolate screening was carried out using modified method of Skim Milk Agar and Milk Clotting Activity Test, and the isolate was then identified using 16S rRNA. We found 4 isolates that showed MCA of 18-20 SU/ml. Identification using 16S rRNA indicated that the isolate ALG.1.15 was 99% (FR3-F primer) and 99% (FR3-R primer) identic with Enterococcus faecium. The isolate potentially produced renin-like protease to subtitute renin from veal.

SummaryMilk clotting activity of Mucor miehei proteinase (commercial name Fromase) was determined in combined rennets as the difference between the total activity of combined rennet and the residual activity after inhibition of Fromase by the purified immunoglobulin fraction of a Fromase antiserum. The proposed method is simple, rapid, and makes possible the use of any arbitrary method for assaying milk clotting activity. The application of the immunoglobulin fraction, instead of the whole antiserum, is necessary owing to the presence of nonspecific proteinase inhibitors in blood serum.

SummaryPorcine and bovine pepsins were very stable in 5·0 M-urea at pH 2·0 or 2·5 at 30 °C while chymosin and Mucor miehei and M. pusillus proteases were rapidly denatured under these conditions. These differences may provide the basis of a quantitative assay of the complement of individual milk clotting enzymes in a coagulant and a possible scheme is suggested.
