717. Physical changes in milk caused by the action of rennet: II. Heats of reaction
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 June 2009
Extract
The rennet-catalysed coagulation of milk casein has been examined calorimetrically. The heat of coagulation and syneresis was found to be less than 0·1 cal.'40 ml. of milk, the limiting sensitivity of the apparatus.
Heats of reaction approaching 0·5 cal. were observed when the milk was acted upon by the enzymes trypsin and papain. It is doubtful whether, at this stage, the results can be correlated with the several phases of the reaction.
