3 kinds of proteins in milk
casein, lactalbumin, lactoglobulin
What is the most nutritionally complete food found in nature
milk
_______ is the main protein in milk. It is a phosphoprotein
casein
3 similar proteins in milk
β-casein, α-casein, κ-casein
__-casein and __-casein are both insoluble in water
β-casein, α-casein
__-casein is responsible for solubilizing the other two casein in water by promoting the formation of micelles.
κ-casein
Casein exists in milk as the calcium salt, _________ ________
calcium caseinate
Calcium caseinate has an isoelectric point of pH ____.
4.6
The pH of milk is about ____
6.6
second most abundant protein in milk is __________
lactalbumin
________ carries out the immunological properties of milk. They protect the younger mammal until its immune system has developed
lactoglobulins
EXTRACTION OF CASEIN:
1. Measure 30 mL of nonfat milk and place it in a 100-mL beaker. Add 30 mL of distilled water. Heat on a hot plate to about 1___°C (top of the hot plate at about 2___°C). Monitor the temperature of the milk using a thermometer.
1- 55°C, 2- 65°C
EXTRACTION OF CASEIN:
2. When the mixture has reached 55°C, add the ____ ______ _____ dropwise to the warm
milk with stirring using a glass rod. Do not add the acid too rapidly. Continue the acid
addition, keep the beaker on the hot plate until the liquid changes from milky to
almost clear, and the casein no longer separates (No more than 2 mL of the acid is
needed).
10% acetic acid
EXTRACTION OF CASEIN:
3. Stand the mixture for __ minutes.
5
EXTRACTION OF CASEIN:
4. Stir the precipitated casein until it forms a large ___________ ______; then remove it with a stirring rod or tongs (or by filtration) and place it in another beaker. Label the beaker “casein”.
amorphous mass
EXTRACTION OF CASEIN:
5. Keep the filtrate (______ _______) for PART III.
whey solution
EXTRACTION OF CASEIN:
6. Place the obtained casein in a 100 mL beaker and add 5 mL of a mixture of : _____ _____ and ________. Stir the casein in the mixture for a few minutes, decant the liquid, and repeat the process with a second 5 mL portion of the solvent. These washings remove any small quantities of fat that may have precipitated with the casein. Place the casein between several layers of filter paper to help dry the product, and let it stand in the air for 10-15 minutes.
1- 1:1 ethyl ether, 2- ethanol
