Casein, also known as cheese protein, is a phosphorus-containing complex protein composed of four major subtypes: α-S1, α-S2, β, and κ. It appears as a white to pale yellow amorphous powder that is odorless, tasteless, and hygroscopic. It is stable when dry but prone to spoilage when exposed to moisture. Casein has a high molecular weight and a complex structure, and possesses excellent emulsifying, thickening, gelling, and binding properties.
