Abstract: Enzymes are proteins and bio-catalysts. They are responsible for initiating a specific
response to a specific outcome. In the dairy industry, numerous enzymes are used, such as rennet
and proteolytic enzymes. These enzymes are used for the coagulation and ripening of cheese.
Enzymes are also used to increase the nutritional value of dairy products to alleviate the state of
malnutrition. This review paper converges on the utilization of different enzymes in the dairy
processing industry.
