What it is

Sodium caseinate is a protein derived from casein, the main protein found in milk. It is produced by reacting casein with sodium hydroxide, which makes it soluble in water. This process results in a white to off-white powder.

Why it's used

Sodium caseinate is often used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and texturizer in food products. It helps to blend oil and water, preventing separation and improving the texture of foods. It is commonly found in coffee creamers, dairy-based beverages, processed cheeses, and baked goods.

Health notes

In the U.S., sodium caseinate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sodium caseinate. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Sodium caseinate is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA.
