Is Rennet Gluten Free?

Is Rennet Gluten Free?

Rennet itself is generally considered gluten-free, as it is an enzyme typically derived from animal stomachs or produced through microbial fermentation. However, it’s always important to check the specific product or brand of rennet being used, as some preparations or additives could potentially contain gluten-containing ingredients.

Health Information
Benefits of Rennet

Aids digestion: Rennet contains enzymes that can help break down proteins, potentially aiding in digestion.

Calcium source: Cheeses made with rennet are often good sources of calcium, which is essential for bone health.

Protein content: Cheeses produced using rennet are typically high in protein, which is important for muscle growth and repair.

Vitamin B12: Some cheeses made with rennet contain vitamin B12, which is crucial for nerve function and the formation of red blood cells.

Probiotic potential: Some cheeses made with rennet may contain beneficial bacteria, which can support gut health.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA): Some dairy products, including certain cheeses, contain CLA, which may have anti-inflammatory properties.

Vitamin K2: Certain cheeses made with rennet can be sources of vitamin K2, which is important for bone and cardiovascular health.It’s important to note that these benefits are primarily associated with the cheese products made using rennet, rather than rennet itself. Additionally, the health impacts can vary depending on the type of cheese and individual dietary needs.

Who should avoid Rennet

Strict vegetarians or vegans: Most traditional rennet is derived from the stomachs of young ruminants (usually calves), making it unsuitable for those who avoid animal products.

People with dairy allergies: While rennet itself is not a dairy product, it’s primarily used in cheese production, so those with dairy allergies should be cautious.

Individuals following kosher or halal diets: Unless specifically certified, rennet may not meet kosher or halal dietary requirements.

Those with specific enzyme sensitivities: Though rare, some individuals might have sensitivities to the enzymes in rennet.

People following a plant-based diet for health reasons: They may wish to avoid animal-derived rennet.

Individuals with ethical concerns about animal welfare: Some may object to the use of animal-derived rennet due to its source.

Those with lactose intolerance: While rennet itself doesn’t contain lactose, it’s used in cheese production, so lactose-intolerant individuals should be cautious with cheese containing rennet.Note that plant-based and microbial alternatives to traditional rennet are available, which may be suitable for some of these groups.

What is Tolerase® G?

A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.

 

Relief from Gluten Sensitivity

In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.

This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by  Royal DSM  and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues​ ( 1) ​. Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity​ ( 2) ( ​​3 ) ​.

On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.

What is Gluten?

Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet​ (1)​.

How Tolerase® G Works

It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).

Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).

Vegetable Rennet: Made from plants such as nettles, thistles, or fig leaves, this enzyme coagulates milk for cheese-making without animal products. It's suitable for vegetarians and those with gluten sensitivities.
Microbial Rennet: Produced by fermentation of certain fungi or bacteria, this lab-created enzyme performs the same function as traditional rennet. It's gluten-free and often used in commercial cheese production.
Citric Acid: A natural acid found in citrus fruits, it can be used to coagulate milk for fresh cheeses like ricotta. It's gluten-free and provides a tangy flavor to the final product.
Vinegar: Another acidic option for coagulating milk, vinegar can be used to make simple cheeses. Most vinegars are gluten-free (except malt vinegar), making them a safe choice for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Lemon Juice: Similar to citric acid, fresh lemon juice can be used to curdle milk for cheese-making. It's naturally gluten-free and imparts a bright, fresh flavor to the cheese.These alternatives can be used in place of traditional rennet for various cheese-making applications while remaining gluten-free.

Frequently
Asked Questions 1

Is there gluten in rennet?
Rennet itself does not contain gluten. Rennet is an enzyme typically derived from animal stomachs or produced through microbial fermentation. It is used in cheese-making and is naturally gluten-free. However, it's always important to check product labels, as some commercial rennet preparations may contain additives or be processed in facilities that also handle gluten-containing products.
What is rennet made from?
Rennet is traditionally made from the stomachs of young ruminants, particularly calves. It contains enzymes that help coagulate milk, which is essential in cheese-making. Modern alternatives include vegetable-based rennet and microbial rennet produced by fungi or bacteria. These non-animal alternatives are becoming increasingly popular, especially for vegetarian cheese production.
What cheese is not gluten free?
Most cheese is naturally gluten-free. However, some processed cheese products or cheese spreads may contain gluten as an additive or thickener. Blue cheese can sometimes contain gluten if the mold cultures are grown on bread. Always check labels carefully if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Is cheese bad for celiac disease?
Cheese itself is generally safe for people with celiac disease. Most types of cheese are naturally gluten-free, as they are made from milk, salt, and enzymes. However, some processed cheeses or cheese products may contain gluten additives, so it's important to check labels carefully. As long as the cheese is pure and not contaminated with gluten during processing, it can be a safe and nutritious part of a gluten-free diet for those with celiac disease.
