CASEIN PRODUCTS

CASEIN PRODUCTS

Casein is the principal protein found in cowís milk from which it has been extracted commercially for most of the 20th century. It is responsible for the white, opaque appearance of milk in which it is combined with calcium and phosphorus as clusters of
casein molecules, called ìmicellesî.

During the past 30 years, however, the principal use of casein products has been as an ingredient in foods to enhance their physical (so-called functional) properties, such as whipping and foaming, water binding and thickening, emulsification and texture, and to improve their nutrition.
