Investigating Rennin. Planning I am investigating the enzyme rennin, to see at which temperature it will clot the milk the quickest. Rennin is found in your stomach. It clots the milk that you drink so that it stays in your body longer. This is an advantage as the longer the milk stays in your body, the more protein can be extracted. I expect to find that the water temperature closest to 37oC, which is your body temperature, will clot quicker. This is because rennin clots in the body at body temperature. Therefore the warmer the water, the quicker it will clot. Equipment The equipment I am going to use is: 9 Test tubes, 3 Beakers, Thermometer, Pipette, Stopclock, Test Tube rack, 2cm3 of Milk, Rennin, Ice. This investigation will be kept fair by using appropriate variables. The variable I am going to change is the temperature of the water. I will be keeping the amount of rennin and the amount of milk...
