Maxiren®EVO

The next evolution of cheese coagulants

Transform texture, maximize yield and enhance flexibility with Maxiren®EVO

Cheesemakers worldwide are under increasing pressure to optimize efficiency, improve yield and maintain the highest product quality. Maxiren®EVO meets these demands and more. The cutting-edge, fermentation-produced cheese coagulant is designed to deliver superior functionality, process flexibility and an exceptional consumer experience – from the first slice to the last bite.

With a highly specific mode of action on alpha s-1 casein and improved alpha s-1 hydrolysis, Maxiren®EVO enhances moisture retention, improves texture and extends shelf life, reducing cutting losses and supporting efficient production. Whether you're making pizza-perfect mozzarella or premium sliced cheese, Maxiren®EVO ensures faster, more precise coagulation — giving you greater control over your cheesemaking process.

Why choose Maxiren®EVO?

More flexibility and freedom

Faster curd knitting and improved water binding enable slicing, shredding and selling cheese earlier or later in its shelf-life.
Low proteolytic activity preserves smooth texture, from production to the plate.
Stable structure and less stickiness throughout the cheese’s lifespan.

Increase yield while reducing carbon footprint

Achieve up to 1.7% higher moisture retention, increasing cheese yield.
Reduce environmental impact with 1.6% lower carbon emissions than first-generation fermentation-produced chymosin.

Optimal performance for preacidified milk

Works effectively at lower pH levels, making it ideal for faster processing setups.

Pizza-perfect mozzarella

Even, reduced and a more uniform browning color after baking.
Superior stretchability and melt for an indulgent eating experience.

Improved post-production whey value

Maxiren®EVO is inactivated after processing, making whey suitable for higher-value sidestream applications.
