Caseins & Caseinates – Functional Dairy Proteins for the Food Industry
Introduction
Caseins and Caseinates are highly functional dairy proteins derived from milk, widely recognized for their emulsifying, stabilizing, and binding properties. Thanks to their unique technological characteristics and nutritional profile, they play a key role in cheese production, bakery, processed foods, and nutrition applications.
What are Caseins & Caseinates?
-
Acid Casein – produced by precipitating casein from skimmed milk with acid. It is a pure protein source with excellent nutritional value, used in cheese, nutrition, and technical applications.
-
Rennet Casein – obtained by enzymatic coagulation, commonly applied in processed cheese production.
-
Sodium Caseinate – a highly functional derivative with excellent solubility, ideal for beverages, coffee creamers, and nutritional products.
-
Calcium Caseinate – valued for its high calcium content, applied in sports nutrition and fortified foods.
Applications
-
Processed Cheese & Dairy – improves texture, stretchability, and stability.
-
Bakery & Confectionery – enhances structure, water binding, and browning.
-
Sports & Clinical Nutrition – slow-digesting protein, ideal for satiety and muscle recovery.
-
Coffee Creamers & Beverages – provides solubility and emulsification.
-
Industrial Uses – applied in adhesives, coatings, and paper production.
