SummaryThe aim of this work was to develop new oriental style dairy products coagulated with culture filtrates from lao-chao, a traditional fermented rice product. The fermenting fungal cultures screened wereRhizopus javanicus, Rhiz. oryzae, Rhiz. chinensis, Rhiz. oligosporus, Aspergillus oryzae, Mucor racemosusand chiu-yao, a commercial starter. All the inocula liquefied a steamed glutinous rice base and produced culture filtrates with both milk-clotting and proteolytic activities. Of the fungal products tested,Rhiz. javanicuswas the most successful, producing a good yield of culture filtrate with the desired milk-clotting activity, and the resultant yogurt-like product was more acceptable to consumers than any except that from chiu-yao. The firmness was less acceptable, but this could be improved by using mixed pure cultures ofRhiz. javanicusandM. racemosus.

“…This result is in accord with that found by KONING et al (1963). Since due to rennin action on casein NPN-bound NANA is set free (KONING et al 1963, OSMAN et al 1969 it is therefore reasonable to consider that the pre-release of some bound NANA from casein in milk by heat may enhance the clotting process.…”

The influence of some metal ions was investigatedon the milk-clotting activityof the pure rennin-like enzyme of Penicillium citrinum 805. Barium and calcium enhanced the clotting activity while copper, nickel, and sodium ions showed slight inhibitory effects. Above a certain concentration limit, EDTA played a role by which its complexing action with calcium ions was compensated and the milk became readily coagulable by the enzyme. This phenomenon was more significant when EDTA was added to the milk instead of the enzyme. It was suggested that treatment of milk with EDTA led to homogenization and aggregation of the phosphocaseinate particles whereby the clottability of milk was increased. The heating of milk rendered it more coagulable by the rennin-like enzyme. This was attributed to different factors including the increase in the degree of aggregation of casein micelles and the release of NPN-bound NANA by heat.Studies on the action of metal ions on animal rennin enzymes were carried out by many investigators (HOSTETTLER and RUGGER 1950, WAKUI and KAWACHI 1954a, S A S A K I~~ al. 1955, PURI and PARKASH 1962. The effect of calcium concentration on the clotting of milk by microbial rennin and HANSEN'S Cheese rennet was investigated by TSUGO et al. (1964). The latter investigators found that the milk-clotting activity of microbial rennin was increased by the addition of CaCI, but the rate of increase was more pronounced than in the case of HANSEN'S Cheese rennet. Recently, ABDEL-FATTAH and MABROUK (1972a) studied the effect of CaC1, on the milk-clotting enzyme of Aspergillus niger and found that addition of CaCl, to buffered reaction mixtures caused decrease in p H and time of milkclotting.The effect of EDTA as a complexing agent on milk coagulation by rennet was studied by ODAGIRI and NICKERSON (1964). The latter authors found that coagulation time was prolonged in logarithmic proportion to the amount of complexing agent added, but was restored to normal by the addition of calcium. Detailed studies about the action of EDTA on the coagulability of milk by microbial milk-clotting enzymes are, however, scanty.It has long been known that milk, when heated and then cooled immediately, shows an increase in rennet coagulation time (PYNE 1945, ZITTLE et al. 1962, HINDLE and WHEELOCK 1970. However, in a study on the milk-clotting enzyme of the leaves of Streblus asper, RAM and R E D D I (~~~~) reported that the purified enzyme preparation clotted boiled milk more rapidly than raw cow's milk. Furthermore, RAMSDELL and WHITTIER (1953) found that heating of milk rendered it more coagulable by rennet and attributed this t o the denaturation 25*
