DALY Products

Casein makes up about 80 percent of the protein in cheese, milk and yogurt.

Casein is used in various ways in the food industry. Here are some important industrial uses of casein in the food industry:

Cheese Production: Casein is a key ingredient in cheese making. During the coagulation of milk, casein separates from whey and forms the structure of cheese.

Food Supplements: It is commonly used in sports nutrition and protein powders. Because it is digested slowly, it is consumed at night before bedtime to support muscle repair.

Use as an Emulsifier: Casein acts as an emulsion stabilizer in food products. It stabilizes the fat and water phases especially in sauces, mayonnaise and ice creams.

Providing Structure and Texture: Casein is used to add a creamy texture to products. It is especially found in dairy desserts and cream-based products.

Nutritional Supplements: Casein acts as a transport vehicle for nutrients in some vitamin and mineral supplements.

Dairy Products: In yogurt, milk powders and cream products, casein is used to increase nutritional value and provide structural properties.

Gluten Alternative: Casein can be used as a structural additive in gluten-free products.

These applications demonstrate both the nutritional and functional properties of casein.
