Question:

Match List-I with List-II

List-I (Name of Enzyme)List-II (Source of Enzyme)
(A) Hannilase(I) Endothia parasitica
(B) Meito(II) Bacillus subtilis
(C) Suparen(III) Mucor pusillus
(D) Mikrozyme(IV) Mucor miehei

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Show Hint

Hannilase and Fromase are both derived from Mucor miehei. These are the most common microbial rennets used in the industry.
  • (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
  • (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
  • (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
  • (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (III)

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Microbial rennets are used as substitutes for traditional calf rennet in cheese making. They are proteolytic enzymes produced by fermentation using specific fungi or bacteria. Each commercial brand uses a specific organism.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

Let's match the commercial enzyme names with their microbial sources:
- (A) Hannilase: This is a well-known microbial coagulant produced from the fungus Mucor miehei (IV).
- (B) Meito: This rennet substitute is produced from the fungus Mucor pusillus (III).
- (C) Suparen: This enzyme is derived from the fungus Endothia parasitica (now called Cryphonectria parasitica) (I).
- (D) Mikrozyme: This is a bacterial protease often associated with Bacillus subtilis (II).
The correct matching sequence is A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II.

Step 3: Final Answer:
(2) (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
