Sodium Caseinate CAS 9005-46-3
What is Sodium Caseinate?
Sodium caseinate is a compound extracted from casein, a protein found in mammalian milk. Casein is the main protein in milk and is responsible for its opaque, white appearance. It is a component of many milk-based products such as ice cream and cheese. Casein can be separated from milk and used alone as a thickening, texturizing and stabilizing additive for various foods.
As a food additive, sodium caseinate is highly safe and is widely used in countries around the world. It is also widely used in almost all food industries because of its excellent emulsifying and thickening effects.
What are the benefits
1. Improve appetite: Sodium caseinate has a slightly specific aroma, and it helps to improve the appearance of food, thereby improving appetite.
2. Improve taste: Sodium caseinate can form a balanced and stable emulsion at the oil-water-emulsifier interface, which helps to form a better taste during food processing.
3. Improve texture: Sodium caseinate has certain thickening and foaming properties, which can improve the texture of food.
4. Adjust appearance: Sodium caseinate has good emulsification and thermal stability, etc., which can adjust the appearance of food and improve the appearance.
5. Supplement nutrition: Sodium caseinate contains various amino acids required by the human body, has high nutritional value, and can also be used as a nutritional enhancer for some foods.
Applications
Nutritional Supplements
Casein makes up about 80% of the protein in milk, while whey makes up the remaining 20%. Proteins are considered complete if they contain all nine essential amino acids that the body needs to stay healthy. Sodium caseinate is a popular protein supplement in protein powders, snack bars, and meal replacements because it provides a rich source of high-quality and complete protein.
Research shows that casein promotes the growth and repair of muscle tissue, making it a popular protein supplement choice for athletes and weightlifters.
Sodium caseinate is also often used as a protein source in infant formula due to its favorable amino acid profile.
Food additives
Since sodium caseinate has good emulsification, thickening and adhesive properties, it is widely used in minced meat products such as sausages, ham, luncheon meat, etc. It can increase the cohesiveness and water retention of meat, and emulsify fats without precipitation, thereby greatly improving the quality of products.
Sodium caseinate is also commonly used in baked foods, milk solid beverages, and ice cream.
