Topics related to "casein"

casein
casein , well-defined group of proteins found in milk, constituting about 80% of the proteins in cow's milk, but only 40% in human milk. Casein is a remarkably efficient nutrient, supplying not only essential amino acids, but also some carbohydrates and the inorganic elements calcium and phosphorus.... Read more

Dictionary entries related to "casein"

casein
Book article from: A Dictionary of Nursing casein ( kay -si-in) n. a milk protein. Casein is precipitated out of milk in acid conditions or by the action of rennin. It is very easily prepared and is useful as a protein supplement, particularly in the treatment of malnutrition.
caseinogen
