Reason : Rennet is obtained from calf's liver and is used for curdling of milk

Microbes in Human Welfare

Solution:

Rennet is obtained from calf's stomach and is a commercially available form of enzyme rennin. Rennet is used for curdling of milk to initiate the process of cheese formation. The same function can be carried out with the help of fruit extract of Withania somnifera. Thus, rennet and fruit extract of Withania somnifera have similar functions and are not antagonistic.
