Description | Casein is the name for a family of related phosphoprotein proteins (alphaS1, alphaS2, beta, kappa). These proteins are commonly found in mammalian milk, making up 80% of the proteins in cow milk and between 60% and 65% of the proteins in human milk. Casein has a wide variety of uses, from being a major component of cheese, to use as a food additive, to a binder for safety matches. As a food source, casein supplies amino acids; carbohydrates; and two inorganic elements, calcium and phosphorus. [Wikipedia] | ||||||||||
