Casein has a wide variety of uses, from being a major component of cheese, to use as a food additive.[3] The most common form of casein is sodium caseinate.[4] In milk, casein undergoes phase separation to form colloidal casein micelles, a type of secreted biomolecular condensate.[5] As a food source, casein supplies amino acids, carbohydrates, and two essential elements, calcium and phosphorus.[6] Casein is a family of related phosphoproteins (αS1, aS2, β, κ) that are commonly found in mammalian milk, comprising about 80% of the proteins in cow’s milk and between 20% and 60% of the proteins in human milk.[1] Sheep and Cow milk have a higher casein content than other types of milk with human milk having a particularly low casein content.[2] |
