Milk protein
Milk proteins could be classified into 2 main categories: Caseins (80%) whey proteins (15%) and other miscellaneous minor protein (5%) specific to the nutritional and growth demands Milk protein products caseins and caseinates whey protein products milk protein concentrates

Casein
In milk, casein bind with calcium phosphate to form a clusters of casein molecules, called micelles Casein micelles are constructed of many sub-micelles, which are composed of s1-casein, s2-casein, -casein, and -casein.
CASEIN PRODUCTION
Acid Casein - Rennet Casein Caseinate
Skim milk
Rennet treatment Casein curd Wash, press, grind, dry, and mill Rennet Casein Acidification Casein curd Spray-dry Wash, press, grind, dry, and mill Acid Casein pH6.7- 7.0 with NaOH, KOH, NH4OH, Mg(OH)2, or Ca(OH)2
Skim milk
CASEIN MANUFACTURING
Acidification
Dewatering
Drying Cooling, Tempering, Milling, Sifting, Blending and Packaging 7 Acid Casein
Rennet Casein
Coagulated through the action of rennet:
No change of pH Chymosin break peptide bond of -casein loss of steric stabilization smoother and spongier than acid casein
