Why does rennin-coagulated curd have a different texture than acid-coagulated curd?


Rennin is an enzyme that promotes coagulation; coagulation results much more quickly and the curd texture is tough and rubbery and high in calcium. The acid-coagulated curd occurs over a longer period of time, loses more calcium, and results in a soft and spongy texture. The texture is influenced by pH.
