MEDIOCON INC offers Chy-Max® M, a second-generation fermentation-produced chymosin (FPC) used as a highly specific milk coagulant in cheese manufacturing.
Chy-Max® M is designed to provide high milk-clotting specificity with reduced proteolytic activity. The active milk-coagulating enzyme is chymosin (EC 3.4.23.4). The product is produced by submerged fermentation on a vegetable substrate using Aspergillus niger var. awamori, which is maintained under contained conditions and is not present in the final product.
The high specificity of Chy-Max® M for κ-casein supports efficient curd formation while limiting unwanted protein breakdown. This can contribute to improved cheese yield, texture control, whey quality and reduced bitterness.
Chy-Max® M is a fermentation-produced dairy coagulant intended for cheese production.
Unlike traditional animal rennet, fermentation-produced chymosin is produced through a controlled fermentation process. Chy-Max® M is specifically designed to achieve a high ratio of milk-clotting activity relative to general proteolytic activity.
The product is available in liquid and granulate formats, with different strengths and volumes depending on the commercial variant and market.
Enzyme: Chymosin
EC Number: EC 3.4.23.4
Enzyme Type: Fermentation-produced chymosin
Function: Milk coagulation / cheese coagulant
Chymosin acts primarily on κ-casein in milk, initiating coagulation of the casein micelle and formation of the curd required for cheesemaking.
Chy-Max® M is produced through submerged fermentation using a vegetable-based substrate with Aspergillus niger var. awamori under contained manufacturing conditions. The production organism is not present in the final product.
The high specificity of Chy-Max® M can help retain more milk protein in the cheese matrix, supporting improved yield. Novonesis reports cheese-yield improvement of up to 1.2% for its Chy-Max® M coagulant in certain applications.
Reduced proteolytic activity helps limit excessive casein breakdown, supporting firm and stable cheese texture during storage.
The high specificity of the enzyme helps minimize unwanted protein breakdown that can contribute to bitterness.
Greater specificity can reduce unwanted protein degradation and support the recovery of higher-value whey proteins.
Chy-Max® M is designed to provide robust coagulation performance across cheesemaking conditions, helping producers achieve more consistent processing.
Chy-Max® M is used as a coagulant in:
Novonesis describes Chy-Max® M as suitable for multiple cheese applications.
Chy-Max® M is a fermentation-produced chymosin and is described by Novonesis/Chr. Hansen materials as suitable for vegetarians. It has also been described as Halal and Kosher certified, subject to the applicable product variant and certification.
Chy-Max® M is available as a liquid coagulant in different commercial strengths.
Granulated formats are also available depending on product variant and market.
Commercial Chy-Max® M products are supplied in different activity strengths.
For example, historical product information describes a 1000 IMCU/mL liquid specification with a minimum guaranteed activity of 950 IMCU/mL at best-before date. Do not use these values as the generic specification for every Chy-Max® M variant.
The exact activity should therefore be entered according to the specific product strength and current CoA.
MEDIOCON INC can support commercial sourcing requirements with available technical and quality documentation, subject to product availability and supplier documentation.
Typical documentation may include:
Storage conditions are variant-specific and should be taken directly from the current manufacturer's product specification.
Protect the enzyme preparation from:
Chy-Max® M is an enzyme preparation. Appropriate workplace handling procedures should be followed.
Enzyme dust or aerosols can cause sensitization in susceptible individuals, so appropriate occupational controls and personal protective equipment should be used when handling concentrated enzyme preparations.
Packaging depends on the specific Chy-Max® M strength and format.
Commercial formats can include:
Exact packaging should be confirmed according to the selected product variant.
Chy-Max® M is a food enzyme / dairy coagulant, not a pharmaceutical API.
Therefore:
Chy-Max® M combines high milk-clotting specificity with comparatively low proteolytic activity, making it suitable for cheesemakers seeking consistent coagulation, improved yield, controlled texture and good whey quality.
MEDIOCON INC supports customers seeking specialty food enzymes and dairy-processing ingredients with appropriate technical, quality and regulatory documentation.
