Abstract
In this study, for the very first time, aqueous extracts obtained from flowers of spontaneously grown or cultivated Onopordum platylepis (Murb.) Murb. thistles were used as coagulating agents for the pilot-scale manufacture of Caciofiore, a traditional Italian raw ewe's milk cheese. Cheese prototypes were compared to control cheeses curdled with a commercial thistle rennet obtained from flowers of Cynara cardunculus L. After 45 days of ripening under controlled conditions, both the experimental and control cheese prototypes were analyzed for: cheese yield, physico-chemical (pH, titratable acidity, aw, proximate composition), morpho-textural (color and texture), and microbiological parameters (viable cell counts and species composition assessed by Illumina sequencing), as well as volatile profile by SPME-GC-MS. Slight variations in titratable acidity, color, and texture were observed among samples. Based on the results overall collected, neither the yield nor the proximate composition was apparently affected by the type of thistle coagulant. However, the experimental cheese prototypes curdled with extracts from flowers of both spontaneous or cultivated thistles showed 10 % higher values of water-soluble nitrogen compared to the control prototypes. On the other hand, these latter showed slightly higher loads of presumptive lactococci, thermophilic cocci, coliforms, and eumycetes, but lower counts of Escherichia coli. No statistically significant differences were revealed by the metataxonomic analysis of the bacterial and fungal biota. Though most volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were consistent among the prototypes, significant variability was observed in the abundance of some key aroma compounds, such as butanoic, hexanoic, and octanoic acids, ethanol, propan-2-ol, isobutyl acetate, 2-methyl butanoic acid, and 3-methyl butanal. However, further investigations are required to attribute these differences to either the type of coagulant or the metabolic activity of the microorganisms occurring in the analyzed cheese samples. The results overall collected support the potential exploitation of O. platylepis as a novel source of thistle coagulant to produce ewe's milk cheeses.

Abstract
Rennet, an aspartate protease found in the stomach of unweaned calves, effectively cuts the peptide bond between Phe105-Met106 in κ-casein, hydrolyzing the casein micelles to coagulate the milk and is a crucial additive in cheese production. Rennet is one of the most used enzymes of animal origin in cheese making. However, using rennet al.one is insufficient to meet the increasing demand for cheese production worldwide. Numerous studies have shown that plant rennet can be an alternative to bovine rennet and exhibit a good renneting effect. Therefore, it is crucial and urgent to find a reliable plant rennet. Based on our team's research on rennet enzymes of plant origin, such as from Dregea sinensis Hemsl. and Moringa oleifer Lam., for more than ten years, this paper reviews the relevant literature on rennet sources, isolation, identification, rennet mechanism, functional active peptide screening, and application in cheese production. In addition, it proposes the various techniques for targeted isolation and identification of rennet and efficient screening of functionally active peptides, which show excellent prospects for development.

New Coagulant Proteases for Cheesemaking from Leaves and Latex of the Spontaneous Plant Pergularia tomentosa: Biochemical Characterization of Coagulants and Sensorial Evaluation of Cheese. Foods 2023; 12:2467.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the caseinolytic and milk-clotting activities of aqueous crude extracts from leaves and latex of the Pergularia tomentosa, to determine their suitability as a rennet substitute. These extracts were subjected to a series of biochemical tests before being used in the production of cheese. The results showed that the enzymatic latex extract had a higher coagulant activity than the leaf extract. However, under different clotting conditions (pH, temperature, and CaCl2 concentration), both coagulants behaved similarly in the coagulation of Berridge substrate. The SDS-PAGE and zymographic analysis revealed identical protein bands with a single active zone in both extracts, corresponding to a molecular weight of 26.98 kDa and 26.03 kDa in the extract of leaf and latex, respectively. Both extracts were stable to different effectors but strongly inhibited by iodoacetamide and Hg, suggesting it to be a cysteine protease. Both extracts were able to hydrolyze casein and generate peptides of 14 kDa, with excessive hydrolysis of the other casein fractions. The physicochemical parameters of cheese made from latex and leaf extract evolved similarly to control cheese. According to the sensory evaluation, cheese made with latex had a mildly bitter flavor but showed a high acceptance rate (>80%).

Abstract
The rising interest in finding alternatives to animal rennet in cheese production has led to studying the technological feasibility of using and exploiting new species of herbaceous plants. In this research work, and for the first time, freeze-dried extracts from Cynara humilis L. (CH) and Onopordum platylepis Murb. (OP) were studied for mineral and protein content, and their clotting and proteolytic activity were compared to those of Cynara cardunculus L. (CC). The effect of extract concentration (5-40 mg extract/mL), temperature (20-85 °C), pH (5-8), and CaCl2 concentration (5-70 mM) on the milk clotting activity (MCA) of CC, CH and OP extracts was evaluated. The MCA values were significantly higher in CC at the same extract concentration. The extract that showed the most significant increase in clotting activity due to increased temperature was OP, with maximum activity at 70 °C. The pH value for maximum milk clotting was 5.0 for both CC and CH, whereas, in the case of OP, the pH value was 5.5. CaCl2 enhanced the clotting capacity of the extracts, particularly for OP and CH. Furthermore, proteolytic activity (PA) and the hydrolysis rate increased with increasing time and enzyme concentration, with CC being the extract that achieved the highest caseinolytic activity.

Abstract
Withania coagulans (W. coagulans) extract and camel chymosin have aspartic protease capable of coagulating milk for cheese production. This study investigated the quality of camel and bovine milk cheeses coagulated using Withania extracts, came chymosin, and their mixture in two experiments. In Experiment (1), a factorial design with four factors (W. coagulans, camel chymosin, incubation time, and incubation temperature) was performed. The effect of these factors on cheese's yield and hardness were assessed. An enzyme concentration corresponding to a 36 µg/L of milk of W. coagulans, 50 IMCU/L of camel chymosin, holding time of 4 h, and incubation temperature of 60 °C provided the optimal textural hardness for both camel and bovine milk cheeses. Seven treatments were analyzed in experiment (2) were analyzed for physicochemical properties, yield, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGEitation). The results showed that pure Withania extract exhibited the lower coagulating effect resulting in cheeses with low yield, hardness, fat, protein, and total solids. The SDS-PAGE electropherograms of camel cheese showed several low molecular weight bands as compared to bovine cheese. This phenomenon is due to excessive proteolysis in camel cheese, which we believed is caused by the presence of endogenous enzymes.

Abstract
Three Phase Partitioning (TPP) system as an elegant non-chromatographic and bulk separation method was successfully applied for the extraction and recovery of papain from the latex of Carica papaya. The optimized parameters of TPP allowed achieving a purification fold of 11.45 and activity recovery of 134% with 40% (NH4)2SO4, 1.0:0.75 ratio of crude extract: t-BuOH at pH and temperature of 6.0 and 25 °C, respectively. The recovered papain had a molecular weight of 23.2 kDa and revealed maximum activity at pH 6.0 and temperature of 50 °C. The maximum values of Km and Vmax parameters were 10.83 mg mL-1 and 33.33 U mL-1, respectively. The protease with 4 isoforms was stable at 40-80 °C and a pH range of 6.0-7.5 against numerous metal ions and none of them inactivated the recovered protease. Moreover, 10 mM Ca2+ improved 2-folds the activity and half-life of the protease at temperatures from 30 to 50 °C. The milk-clotting activity tests revealed high stability of latex papain at storage, namely at -20 °C compared to 4 °C and 25 °C for up than 5 weeks. As a meat tenderizing agent, it showed promising role under different treatments by improving the texture of tough meat. The findings indicated that one-step TPP system is a simple, quick, economical and very attractive process for fast recovery of latex papain compared to other proposed protocols.
