The initial step in the digestion of milk in humans is carried out by

  1. Lipase
  2. Trypsin
  3. Rennin
  4. Pepsin

Correct answer: Rennin

Solution

Rennin (also called chymosin) curdles milk by acting on casein, which is the initial step in milk digestion in humans, especially in infants. Lipase digests fats, trypsin works in the small intestine, and pepsin digests proteins but is not the specific first step for milk.
