Casein is a type of protein found in milk and offers a wide array of amino acids. It is a gelatinous material and is absorbed by the human body in a different way compared to whey protein. The amino acids produced by it prevents the protein breakdown. It acts slowly but for a longer period of time. Milk produced by all the mammals including cow, goat, yak, buffalo, sheep, human, etc. contains casein. Caseinates are the soluble salts of acid casein. They are extremely functional and versatile proteins with multiple applications. Caseinates are suitable for a wide range of uses such as functional foods and drinks, food bars, bakery items, cheese, sauces, etc.

Global casein and caseinates market drivers
Casein is a great source of all essential amino acids required for the healthy growth of the body. It is low in calories and has extremely low amount of fat content.
Casein is slow-digesting and helps in speeding up the metabolic rate. It also supplies all the necessary amino acids to build the muscles stronger and improves teeth health as well.
Casein and Caseinates are widely used in functional foods and beverages, baby food, infant formula, sports nutrition products, etc. Their application in these industries is largely attributed to their high texturing capacity, melting properties, good emulsification and water absorption capacity.
Many derivatives of casein and caseinates are used for clinical purposes. As they help in providing essential nutrients. Hydrolysed casein is also used for clinical applications because of its solubility and enzymatic digestion.
Casein is fast-drying, water soluble and has adhesive properties. Due to this, casein has applications in various industries such as adhesives, paper and cardboard coating, plastics, paints, leather tanning, etc.
Unlike some of the other dairy products, the shelf life of casein and caseinates is high. A typical casein powder can last for months and retains its properties until it is mixed with water. Moreover, as a result of their higher shelf life and availability in powdered state, casein and caseinates can be easily transported from one place to another.
