Acid Casein for Food and Feed Applications in Industrial Formulations
Acid Casein is a milk protein produced by acid precipitation of skimmed milk. It is widely used in food and feed formulations where controlled protein functionality, nutritional value, and stable processing behaviour are required. Acid Casein is valued for its predictable performance in formulated systems and its suitability for a broad range of food and animal nutrition applications. Considerations such as packaging formats, supply logistics, and product specifications play a key role in consistent industrial performance. Common questions around Acid Casein usage, processing, and application scope often arise when evaluating suitability for specific formulations and production environments.
Functional Characteristics of Acid Casein
Acid Casein is characterised by low mineral content and a dense protein structure. These properties result in controlled hydration behaviour, good binding capacity, and stable functionality in both dry and wet formulations.
In food and feed systems, Acid Casein contributes to texture development, protein enrichment, and formulation stability. Its neutral protein profile allows manufacturers to achieve consistent results across different production batches and processing conditions.
Key functional features include:
- stable protein matrix
- controlled swelling and hydration behaviour
- reliable performance in blended formulations
- suitability for further processing into specialised ingredients
Food Applications of Acid Casein
Acid Casein is commonly used as a functional and nutritional ingredient in a wide range of food products. It supports structure, protein content, and processing consistency in both traditional and industrial food formulations.
Typical food applications include:
- processed cheese and cheese analogues
- dairy blends and compound dairy ingredients
- bakery and confectionery products
- creamers and coffee whitener formulations
- meat products and restructured meat formulations
- nutritional and dietary food products
- protein-enriched and speciality food formulations
In these applications, Acid Casein helps manufacturers improve texture, protein balance, and formulation stability while maintaining predictable processing behaviour.
Animal Nutrition and Feed Applications
In animal nutrition, Acid Casein is used as a high-quality protein source in specialised feed and nutritional products. Its amino acid profile and digestibility make it suitable for targeted feed formulations where protein quality is critical.
Typical feed and nutrition uses include:
- high-protein feed and fodder mixes
- veterinary and nutritional animal products
- specialised feeds for young animals
- aquaculture feed and fishing groundbait
- functional protein components in compound feeds
Acid Casein supports balanced nutrition and contributes to the development of high-value feed products designed for specific animal categories and production stages.

Frequently Asked Questions about Acid Casein
How is Acid Casein different from Rennet Casein?
Acid Casein is produced through acid precipitation and has lower mineral content. Rennet Casein retains more calcium and is primarily used in cheese production.
Is Acid Casein suitable for food and feed use?
Yes. Acid Casein is widely used in food formulations and specialised animal nutrition products.
Can Acid Casein be used in high-protein formulations?
Acid Casein is commonly used to increase protein content and support functional performance in food and feed formulations.
Does Acid Casein affect flavour in food products?
Acid Casein has a neutral protein profile and is used in formulations where minimal impact on flavour is required. It supports texture and structure without introducing strong taste notes.
Is Acid Casein suitable for further processing into caseinates?
Yes. Acid Casein is commonly used as a base material for the production of food-grade caseinates, where controlled functionality and solubility are required.
