caseinate is a protein produced from casein in skim and sometimes 1% milk. At neutral or acid pH, casein is relatively insoluble in water, and is easily separated from other milk proteins, sugars and minerals. Its main food uses are for powders requiring rapid dispersion into water, such as coffee creamers & instant cream soups.
Function:
1) As a source of calcium additive and protein supplements are widely used in health care products and pharmaceuticals
2) As a food additive used in nutritional drinks, cheese, yogurt and bread and other food processing.
Application:
Caseinate is a protein produced from casein in skim milk. At neutral or acid pH,
casein is relatively insoluble in water,and is easily separated from other milk Proteins, sugars and minerals.
After their removal, the casein is solubilized at a high pH with calcium hydroxide; the solution is then dried (usually spray dried).
Caseinate contains about 17% glutamic acid.Its main food uses are for powders requiring rapid dispersion into water, such as coffee creamers and instant cream soups.
It is also incorrectly used as a dietary supplement by bodybuilders and other athletes who confuse it with micellar caseinand ingest it before bed, with breakfast, or as meal after working out under the belief it causes delayed gastric emptying thus supplying the body with a sustained amino acid release.
Caseinate is soluble and does not clot in the stomach.It is believed to neutralize capsaicin,the active (hot) ingredient of peppers, jalapeños, habaneros, and other chili peppers.
