Guest Litany Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 But chymosin causes the coagulation of milk, it doesn't prevent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little ways down on the page it says: In essence, kappa casein normally keeps the majority of milk protein soluble and prevents it from spontaneously coagulating. Enter chymosin. Chymosin proteolytically cuts and inactivates kappa casein, converting it into para-kappa-casein and a smaller protein called macropeptide.
