alleryTraditionally, the enzyme rennet for cheese came from the alimentary canal of cattle. Which enzyme from fungi now makes vegetarian cheese possible?
AProtease
BAmylase
CLipase
DNitrogenase
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Protease
1. Rennet was earlier taken from cattle, making such cheese non-vegetarian.
2. A protease enzyme from fungi is now used to make vegetarian cheese.
3. Amylase and lipase act on starch and fat, not on the milk proteins needed here.
4. Nitrogenase fixes nitrogen and has no cheese role.
