Overview

Our study reports sheep pepsin's suitability as a milk clotting enzyme for cheese production, suggesting economic benefits.

Key Points

  • The research aims to explore sheep pepsin's potential as a milk clotting enzyme and compare its effectiveness to bovine chymosin.
  • Extracted pepsin from sheep abomasa
  • Analyzed catalytic activity in milk from different species
  • Conducted proteolytic analysis of bovine caseins
  • Compared peptide profiles from different species of caseins
  • Sheep pepsin promotes pronounced hydrolysis of α-casein compared to β-casein
  • No significant impact of sheep pepsin on ewe's milk
  • Differences observed in action between sheep pepsin and chymosin on peptide profiles
  • Sheep pepsin shows potential as a substitute for chymosin in goat's and sheep's milk cheese production
