How does coagulation of milk in the alimentary canal take place ?

Answer»

When milk reaches the stomach, protein digestion starts. Pepsin stimulates the digestion of proteins in milk. HCI activates pepsinogen into pepsin. It hydrol ses soluble casein into paracasein to make solid curd, i.e., coagulation of milk. Reinin, a milk coagulating enzyme is secreted as pro-rennin but in presence of HCl it is hydrolysed into active rennin. Rennin hydrolyses casein into paracasein to milk coagulation.
