- Casein is a protein
that is found in milk and used independently in many foods as a binding
agent. Technically, it is part of a group called phosphoproteins,
collections of proteins bound to something containing phosphoric acid.
Casein may also be called caseinogen, particularly in European
foods.
- Casein is a salt,
meaning it has no net ionic charge, of the element calcium. It has a
number of interesting properties that make it useful in foods and
cooking. Casein can be found in two main types: edible and technical.
Edible casein is widely used in both medicine and food, both for
nutritional value and as a binder. Technical casein is used in an
enormous range of products, including paints, cosmetics, and many types
of adhesives.
- 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.
- Casein is the basic
component of ordinary cheese. In the cheesemaking process, casein is
precipitated by the action of rennet enzyme, and a coagulam is formed
consisting of casein, whey proteins, fat, lactose and the minerals of
the milk.
- Casein can be produced
for different applications by precipitation from the skimmed milk with
dilute Sulphuric acid, Hydrochloric acid or Lactic acid. Casein is
produced in various grades which includes hydrochloric acid casein,
sulphuric acid casein, lactic acid casein, rennet casein, fat free
casein.
- Commercially, casein is
isolated from milk through the action of lactic acid-producing bacteria
or through the addition of an acid such as HCl. The use of CO2 to
precipitate casein from milk has recently been demonstrated on a batch
scale and for a continuous pilot plant process.
- Casein exists in milk
in complex groups of molecules (sometimes referred to as calcium
phospho-caseinate) that are called micelles. The micelles consist of
casein molecules, calcium, inorganic phosphate and citrate ions, and
have a typical molecular weight of several
hundred million.
- Ireland’s casein exports went to the US, which remains the key export
market. However, Ireland’s dependence on the US has reduced, with this
market accounting for 60% of exports in 2001, and intra-EU exports
representing 38% of the total. There is concern regarding the ongoing
viability of this US casein market.
- The prices for casein
are still rather low in spite of the reduction of its output. The asked
prices of a few manufacturers fluctuated in the range of
UAH28,000–29,000 per MT in the middle of January 2005. The rather small
volumes of the products are exported for the prices in the range of
USD5,100–5,300 per MT FCA. Taking into consideration the current
situation on the world casein market it can be supposed that it is
hopeless for the Ukrainian casein traders to wait the significant
improvement of their position on the market.
- By 2005, the value of
Indian dairy produce is expected to be INR 1,000,000 million. In last
six years foreign investment in this sector stood at INR 3600 million
which is about one-forth of total investment made in this sector.
Manufacture of casein and lactose, largely being imported presently, has
good scope. Exports of milk products have been decanalised.
