Casein, tech., Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Casein, CAS # 9000-71-9, is a family of related phosphoproteins, usually isolated from bovine milk.

Natural protein source, typically isolated from bovine milk.Casein is widely used as a food additive. It is useful in tooth remineralization products to stabilize amorphous calcium phosphate. It is also used as a type of organic adhesive and a binder for safety matches. It supplies amino acids and carbohydrates and two inorganic elements such as calcium and phosphorus. Further, it is also used in the production of transformer board due to its oil permeability.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

General Information
• Casein contains a mixture of related phosphoproteins present in bovine milk and cheese. It contains all of the common amino acids and is rich in the essential ones.

Applications

• Casein is a source of amino acids, carbohydrates, and two inorganic elements namely calcium and phosphorus
• This compound can be used in vivo as a solid food sample and in vitro digestion experiments with rodents
• It can increase the photostability of quantum dots and decrease nonspecific binding in immunofluorescence experiments
• Casein, in biochemical experiments, can be used to prepare P407-casein hydrogels and to study the mechanical effects of the addition of casein to P407
