What it is

Microbial coagulants are enzymes derived from microorganisms, such as fungi or bacteria. They are produced through fermentation processes and are used as alternatives to animal-derived rennet in cheesemaking.

Why it's used

These enzymes help to coagulate milk proteins, which is a crucial step in cheese production. They are commonly found in various cheese products and some crackers and snacks where cheese is an ingredient.

Health notes

Microbial coagulants are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated coagulants, and they are widely used globally. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Microbial coagulants are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
