Since in our experiment in vitro we found that the addition of rennin to acid milks did not increase tile speed of digestion as much as its addition to nonacid milks, we did not add rennin to the acid milks studied in vivo.

We wished to see how the digestion of the milk mixtures which we had studied in vitro compared with the digestion . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
