Abstract: Chymosin is the crucial enzyme in the cheese production. High effect chymosin has high milk-clotting activity and low proteolytic activity. This article introduced the assay methods of the milk-clotting activity and proteolytic activity. Simultaneously, the origin of chymosin-producing strain and the way to obtain high effect chymosin-producing strain were also reviewed.

Key words: chymosin, cheese, high effect, milk-clotting activity, proteolytic activity
