What does RENNET mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A substance, traditionally taken from the stomach lining of a young calf, used to curdle milk when making cheese.
Rennet contains an enzyme that causes the proteins in milk to clump together into curds, separating them from the liquid whey, which is the first key step in turning milk into most traditional cheeses. Cheesemakers once relied entirely on rennet extracted from the fourth stomach of an unweaned calf, though microbial and vegetable substitutes are now widely used by makers who want a vegetarian product. The word can refer either to the raw stomach lining itself or to the prepared liquid or tablet sold for use in the kitchen or dairy. A separate, older sense uses rennet for certain varieties of apple, unrelated to cheesemaking.

A specialist term used by cheesemakers and in recipes, though many home cooks encounter it only on cheese-making kits.
