The casein coagulated with rennet typically weighs more than the casein precipitated with acid because rennet specifically targets casein proteins, causing them to form a gel-like structure that retains more moisture and fat. In contrast, acid precipitation can lead to the loss of some soluble proteins and water, resulting in a drier curd. Additionally, the enzymatic action of rennet promotes a more efficient and complete coagulation of casein, leading to a higher yield in weight.
