Glycomacropeptide(GMP) is a hydrophilic peptide moiety of kappa-casein which keeps micellular casein in aqueous solution(i. e. in milk). It is its cleavage by rennet(chymosin) during the cheesemaking process which makes micellular casein become insoluble, thus forming cheese curd. 3, record 1, English, - cleavage

Making Cheese from Curdled Milk. Cheesemaking capitalises on the curdling of milk. First, the milk is carefully selected to make sure there are no antibiotics or harmful agents that could affect the process. The milk is then heated and held at a given temperature for a short period to destroy any harmful bacteria(i. e. pasteurisation). Special starter cultures are then added to the warm milk and change a very small amount of the milk sugar into lactic acid. This acidifies the milk at a much faster rate and prepares it for the next stage. Rennet(mainly chymosin) is then added to the milk and within a short time a curd is produced. 3, record 2, English, - curdled

The Rate of Contraction(Syneresis) of Rennet Curd. From the cheesemaking point of view the major factors controlling the loss of whey and contraction of the coagulum are cutting, temperature and acidity(Davis 1941a). Other factors such as the concentration of rennet and composition of the milk appear to be less important. Gyr(1944) found that the rate of contractions(but not the final extent) was enhanced by increasing concentrations of rennet, increasing temperatures in the range 40 to 60 ° C. and decreasing pH values in the range 6. 4 to 5. 3. 2, record 5, English, - rennet%20curd
