What does CASEIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
The main protein found in milk and, in coagulated form, in cheese, widely used in foods, adhesives, paints and plastics.
Casein is the protein that curdles out of milk when it turns sour or is treated with rennet, forming the solid curds that become cheese while the liquid whey is left behind. Beyond the kitchen, manufacturers extract casein for use as a binder in glues and paints, as a coating on some papers, and as an ingredient in certain plastics and processed foods. Its ability to form a tough, water-resistant film once made casein glue and casein paint common before synthetic alternatives took over most of that market.
How CASEIN is used
Mainly a technical or nutritional term; common on food and supplement labels and in descriptions of cheese-making.
- Cheese forms when casein in milk separates from the watery whey.
- The old furniture had been assembled with casein glue.
- Some protein powders list casein as their main ingredient.
- The label showed casein paint had been used on the mural.
- Rennet causes casein to clot and thicken into curds.
