Tag: Casein production

Casein is a family of phosphoproteins that makes up approximately 80% of the proteins in cow's milk, a fact central to its widespread use in the food and manufacturing industries. Its extraction and processing from skim milk involves several distinct methodologies that determine the final product's functional properties.

Protein is extracted from animal or plant-based sources, like cow's milk or peas, through a series of complex filtration and drying steps. This process concentrates the protein while removing unwanted components to create the fine powder found in popular supplements, which can also involve adding flavors and other nutrients.
