Cheese is made by coagulating milk to give curds which are then separated from the liquid, whey, after which they can be processed and matured to produce a wide variety of cheeses. Milk is coagulated by the addition of rennet. The active ingredient of rennet is the enzyme, chymosin (also known as rennin). The usual source of rennet is the stomach of slaughtered newly-born calves. 2, record 1, English, - rennet%20cheese

Méthodes de transformation des aliments. Pour transformer le lait en lait caillé, les fabricants de fromage ont toujours utilisé une enzyme appelée «présure» ou «rennine». Des chercheurs ont élaboré un substitut synthétique à la présure appelé «chymosine». La chymosine offre plusieurs avantages par rapport à la présure. Elle est plus pure, moins coûteuse et ne requiert pas l'utilisation d’animaux. La chymosine est maintenant utilisée dans la majorité des fromages fabriqués au Canada. 2, record 2, French, - lait%20caill%C3%A9

The principle of cheesemaking involves the coagulation of milk protein followed by the separation of the resultant curds and whey (solid and liquid). Much more is now known of the science of cheesemaking, but the process remains very much a skill and a craft. Recipes are available for many varieties but the skill of the cheesemaker remains paramount. Changes in the milk, the seasons, how the cultures behave during the making process, all these, as well as the actual maturing process, affect the end results. 2, record 3, English, - cheesemaking

La fabrication du fromage repose sur le principe fondamental de la coagulation du lait pour en faire du lait caillé et du petit-lait. Les techniques modernes permettent de cailler le lait en y ajoutant une culture bactérienne qui donne de l'acide lactique et de la présure, une substance extraite des veaux, qui contient un enzyme spécial qui accélère la séparation des liquides et des solides. 3, record 3, French, - fabrication%20du%20fromage
