General
-
Casein is a protein
that is found in milk and used independently in many foods as a
binding agent.
-
Casein can be found in two main types:
edible and technical.
- Casein is
the major protein in cow's milk and constitutes about 80% of the
total protein content of which the rest, the 9 per cent SNF
portion of milk contains around 3.5 per cent proteins and 4.5
per cent lactose (milk sugar), with assorted vitamins, minerals
and enzymes making up the rest.
Process
- Commercial
casein is made from skimmilk by one of the two general methods :
precipitation by acid or coagulation by rennet.
- The main
raw material used to produce casein is skimmed milk . It should
be of good quality.
- Casein is
also isolated from milk through the action of lactic
acid-producing bacteria or through the addition of an acid such
as HCl.
Market
- The
production of cheese and casein has increased significantly over
the last ten years.
- Casein
production in 2001 has gradually risen to its current level of
48,000 tonnes, while SMP output has fallen by 59% to 75,000
tonnes.
- Traders
and domestic buyers feel that future market conditions will
basically center around what will be happening in Oceania during
their upcoming milk and casein production season.
.Application
