Casein is a protein mainly found in milk and dairy products, accounting for about 80% of the total milk protein. Casein is a high molecular weight phosphoprotein with good nutritional value and functional properties. Casein contains a large amount of proline. Casein can also be used as a functional ingredient in the food industry, such as an emulsifier and thickener. Casein has good nutritional value and multiple functional properties. The casein products provided by Alfa Chemistry can be added to food as functional ingredients to play a role in amino acid complementation.

Characteristics of casein

  • Nutrient-rich: casein contains a variety of amino acids needed by the human body, especially branched-chain amino acids, and is an ideal source of protein.
  • Slow digestion: Compared with whey protein, casein is digested and absorbed more slowly, and can provide continuous release of amino acids, making it suitable for protein supplementation after exercise and before bed.
  • Gel properties: casein is easy to coagulate in an acidic environment and is often used in cheese making and protein supplements.
  • Dairy application: casein is widely used in cheese, yogurt, ice cream and many other dairy products.

Best Time to Take Casein

Casein takes a long time to digest in the body and is a slow-digesting protein, so it is recommended to take it during the following time periods:

  • Before bedtime: Casein is considered an ideal bedtime protein because it can provide a continuous supply of amino acids to help muscles recover and grow at night.
  • Between meals: If you need to increase your protein intake between meals, casein is also a good choice because it can help maintain a longer feeling of fullness.
  • As a dietary supplement: Casein can be used as a supplement to ensure adequate daily protein intake while reducing food intake.
