A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.
Request SDS →Calcium caseinate (CAS 9005-43-0) is the calcium salt of casein, the principal milk protein. As a food-grade dairy protein it is used for protein fortification and as an emulsifier, water/fat binder, and texturizing agent in processed foods, nutritional products, and coffee whiteners.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is calcium caseinate a dairy-derived ingredient?
Yes. Calcium caseinate (CAS 9005-43-0) is the calcium salt of casein, the principal milk protein, and is derived from milk. This grade is labeled Kosher Dairy accordingly.
What is calcium caseinate used for?
It is a food-grade dairy protein used for protein fortification and as an emulsifier, water/fat binder, and texturizing agent in processed foods, nutritional and sports-nutrition products, and coffee whiteners.
What is the difference between calcium caseinate and sodium caseinate?
Both are caseinate salts of milk casein, differing in the cation — calcium versus sodium. The choice affects solubility, viscosity, and mineral contribution; calcium caseinate is typically less soluble and supplies bound calcium, while sodium caseinate is more readily dispersible.
How does calcium caseinate compare with whey protein for formulation?
Both are milk-derived proteins, but caseinate is the casein fraction while whey is the soluble serum-protein fraction. Caseinate provides emulsification, water/fat binding, and texturizing functionality; whey behaves differently in solubility and gelling. They are selected by the functional role needed in the formula.
Does RawSource supply food-grade Kosher calcium caseinate in bulk?
Yes. We distribute food-grade calcium caseinate powder in bulk and provide a Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet with shipments. Request Kosher and food-grade documentation against CAS 9005-43-0.
