Rennet Dose Calculator
Calculate the optimal rennet dose per litre of milk based on temperature and cheese type.
What is the Rennet Dose Calculator & How does it work?
Rennet is an essential enzyme used in cheese making to curdle milk. The amount of rennet required depends on the temperature of the milk and the type of cheese being made. Higher temperatures can reduce the effectiveness of rennet, requiring a larger dose.
The formula to calculate the rennet dose is given by:
Dose = \frac{C}{T} \times 100
C = Cheese type factor, T = Temperature in Celsius
Where the cheese type factor varies based on the type of cheese. For example, hard cheeses like cheddar have a higher factor compared to soft cheeses like brie.
