1. INTRODUCTION:
Casein is the major protein in cows’ and buffalo’ milk, and comprises about 80 % of the
total protein content of which the rest, some 20 %, are the whey or serum proteins.
Casein is a mixture of phospho-proteins found in milk to the extent of about 3%. It contains
all of the common amino acids and is high in the essential ones. The caseins are of Alpha,
beta, gamma and K are in the order of decreasing mobility at pH 7.0.
Commercial casein is made from skim milk by one of two general methods – precipitation
by acid or coagulation by rennet. As much of the fat, whey proteins, lactose and minerals
as possible must be removed by multistage washing in water, as they reduce the quality of
the casein as well as its keeping quality. Dried, properly produced casein has a relatively
good keeping quality and is used mainly in the food and chemical industries.
Casein can be produced in various grades for different applications by precipitation from
the skimmed milk with dilute Sulphuric acid, Hydrochloric acid or Lactic acid. Lactic Casein
or Lactic acid Casein is the product of natural self-souring, although this is normally
promoted by inoculating skin milk lactobacillus. It is used in paints, paper coating, paper
cones, adhesives, rubber chemicals, leather, textile auxiliaries and pharmaceuticals. Rennet
Casein is produced by Rennet process that is precipitated by the enzyme Rennet.
Rennet Casein is Calcium Caseinate, which has high ash content and is primarily used
by the food industries and is not used in adhesives
The entrepreneur must be aware of processing and marketing of casein. Besides that he
must be able to judge the quality of all inputs and finished products.
India is world largest producer of milk. Production of milk is growing at the rate of 4%
per annum. However, government has plan to double the milk production by 2022 by
applying scientific methods in animal husbandry, improved cattle feed and batter
veterinary services. This will result in increased availability of milk which can be converted
in to products like casein. The application and demand for casein are growing at faster
rate due to higher growth of food processing industries and specialty chemicals.
The market for casein is very wide and potential. It is estimated for period of 2016-2026
has projected that the global market for casein will surpass US$ 1 Billion in revenues by
2026. Global Micellar Casein Market to Grow at a 5.9% CAGR Through 2026
7. MANUFACTURING PROCESS:
Skim milk, normally pasteurized at 72 °C for 15 – 20 seconds, is used for the production of
rennet casein, as well as other types of casein. Small amounts of fat are detrimental to the
quality. It is therefore important that the milk has been separated efficiently. Renneting
takes place with the help of the enzyme chymosin in the rennet. The milk is heated for a
short period of time and then cooled to about 30 °C. Then the rennet is added. A gel forms
after 15 – 20 minutes. It is cut and the coagulum is stirred while being heated to about 60
°C. The high temperature is needed to deactivate the enzyme. Cooking time is around 30
minutes.

There is statutory requirement of FSSAI license for setting up of food processing industry.
Moreover, MSME & GST registration, IEC Code for Export of end products and local authority
clearance may be required for Shops and Establishment, for Fire and Safety requirement and
registration for ESI, PF and Labour laws may be required if applicable. Entrepreneur may
contact State Pollution Control Board for consent and permission to treat and dispose of the
liquid effluent. Casein production is highly polluting activity and therefore while selecting
location utmost care must be taken by the promoter.
As part of backward integration promoter may think of creating facilities for milk processing to
make milk products such as butter, cream, cheese, yogurt etc. there is no possibility of forward
integration.
