What it is
Sodium caseinate is a protein derived from casein, the main protein found in milk. It is produced by treating casein with sodium hydroxide, which makes it soluble in water. This process allows it to be used in a wider range of food applications than casein itself.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use sodium caseinate as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and texturizer. It helps blend oil and water, prevents ingredients from separating, and improves the mouthfeel of foods. It is commonly found in dairy products, processed meats, baked goods, and coffee creamers.
Health notes
Sodium caseinate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein and calcium. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated sodium caseinate, and it is permitted for use in foods. There are no widespread controversies regarding its safety at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Sodium caseinate is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
