Cheese making is a prolific industry in the Philippines. For this industry to prosper, the production of quality cheese is vital. Rennet, an enzyme used to coagulate milk in making cheese, comes in different forms. The commonly used rennet is the natural rennet that comes from the fourth stomach of ruminants called abomasum. In order to obtain natural rennet, a ruminant must be slaughtered to get its abomasum. In line with this, the National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (BIOTECH-UPLB), in the person of Dr. Susana Mercado, developed the local microbial rennet as a substitute to the abomasum-based rennet. BIOTECH Rennet is an innovative technology that can help cottage industries. BIOTECH Rennet produces more cheese with better texture, sensory qualities, longer shelf life, and is vegetarian-friendly. Additionally, it can be used for all types of cheeses.

BIOTECH Rennet is produced fromRhizopus chinensis fermented in coconut paringmeal.Thechymosin-likemicrobialrennethaslowproteolytic activity whichmakes it an idealmilkcoagulant.Itintegratestheuseof Bio-Technologytechniquesandmethodsbyusingmicroorganismsinsteadof animalparts.
From the evaluations done by DairyTrainingandResearchInstitute(DTRI),Kapisananng mga Kooperatibang Manggagatas, Inc.(KKMI),andLandof MilkandHoneyMarketingresultsshowthatBIOTECHRennetcangivethefollowingadvantagestocheesemakers:
