Casein: Its Preparation and Technical Utilisation (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Casein: Its Preparation and Technical Utilisation
Although casein, in the form Of cheese, has from time immemorial played an important part in the dietary of the human race, and has been produced in very large quantities, the technical utilisation of this product was almost entirely neglected. The property which it has of dissolving in alkaline liquids and forming, in this condition, a good mucilage, has long been known; but this was all, and it is only within a comparatively short Space of time that any extensive technical application of casein has been made.
Casein is now used as a paint, as a dressing for textiles, a cement and mucilage, in the production of plastic masses, for sizing paper, and various other purposes. Since close attention has been bestowed on the action of formaldehyde on casein, a whole series of new uses has been discovered for the article, which is undoubtedly destined to play a very important part in technology. Furthermore, the original application of it as a foodstuff has not been lost sight of its high nutritive value and its easy assimilability having led to the preparation of a number of artificial foods which are now extensively consumed. In cases where, owing to lack of means of communication, milk cannot be sent to large centres of population for consumption, it is now converted into butter and casein, the latter being disposed of for technical purposes.
