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

Among such products are plastics manufactured from casein and soybean; soaps derived from animal and vegetable fats; cellulose fiber products made from, for example, straws, stubble, ... Read more
Adolf Arthur Dehn
Adolf Arthur Dehn , 1895-1968, American painter and illustrator, b. Waterville, Minn. During the 1920s, Dehn became known as a forceful satiric illustrator.

coagulation
coagulation , the collecting into a mass of minute particles of a solid dispersed throughout a liquid (a sol), usually followed by the precipitation or separation of the solid mass from the liquid. The casein in milk is coagulated (curdled) by the addition of acetic acid or citric acid. The albumin ... Read more

Dictionary entries related to "casein"

casein
Book article from: A Dictionary of Food and Nutrition casein About 75% of the proteins of milk are classified as caseins; a group of 12–15 different proteins. Often used as a protein supplement, since the casein fraction from milk is more than 90% protein.
lactalbumin
Book article from: A Dictionary of Food and Nutrition lactalbumin One of the proteins of milk (casein 3%, lactalbumin 0.5%, lactoglobulin 0.25%). Not precipitated from acid solution as is casein; hence, whey contains lactalbumin and lactoglobulin, which are precipitated by heat and can be used to make whey cheese .
caseinogen
Book article from: A Dictionary of Food and Nutrition caseinogen An obsolete name for the form in which casein is present in solution in milk; when it was precipitated it was then called casein.
