About casein

cpc code 2226 covers the industry of casein production. Casein is a protein found in milk and is a critical ingredient in a wide range of products, from food and beverages to adhesives and plastics. As a key component of the dairy industry, the casein market plays an important role in the broader agricultural and manufacturing sectors of the economy.

Production process

Casein is typically produced by precipitating the protein from skimmed milk through the addition of acids or enzymes. The resulting curds are then washed, dried, and processed into various forms of casein powder or concentrate. Advances in production techniques have enabled manufacturers to refine the quality and properties of casein to meet the specific needs of different applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for casein production include raw milk, processing equipment such as vats, separators, and driers, as well as chemicals like acids or enzymes for precipitation. Reliable access to high-quality milk supplies and efficient processing facilities are critical to the casein industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the casein industry is casein powder or concentrate, which is then used as an ingredient in a variety of 2022 Food Products, 2023 Beverage Products, 2024 Dairy Products, 2025 Animal Foods, 2026 Leather and Leather Products, and 2027 Adhesives and Sealants industries.
