Suparen® is a microbial coagulant derived from the fungus
Cryphonectria (Endothia) parasitica. Its clotting properties are similar
to those of calf rennet and it is particularly suited for use in the
production of Emmental and Italian style cheeses. During the scalding step in
the production of Emmental cheese and Italian style cheeses the enzyme is
destroyed due to its very high thermolability.
Using Suparen® allows for the production of cheese fit for consumers requiring
a Kosher, Halal or vegetarian diet. The resulting whey from the cheese making
process may be fit for a broader valorisation in other Kosher, Halal or
vegetarian food products.
