Full Description

Sodium caseinate (CAS 9005-46-3) is the sodium salt of casein, the principal milk protein. It is used as an emulsifier, thickener, whitener, and protein source in food processing, and as a binder and film-former in industrial and adhesive applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is sodium caseinate used for?

Sodium caseinate (CAS 9005-46-3), the sodium salt of the principal milk protein casein, is used as an emulsifier, thickener, whitener, and protein source in food processing, and as a binder and film-former in industrial and adhesive applications. It is common in coffee whiteners and nutritional formulations.

Is sodium caseinate considered dairy?

Yes. Sodium caseinate is derived from casein, the principal milk protein, so it is a milk-derived (dairy) ingredient. Buyers managing allergen labeling should account for its dairy origin; our CoA documents source and specification.

Is sodium caseinate the same as calcium caseinate?

No. Both are caseinate salts of milk casein, but sodium caseinate uses sodium as the counter-ion and calcium caseinate uses calcium. They differ in solubility and dispersion behavior, which affects emulsification and texture selection.

Does sodium caseinate contain lactose?

Sodium caseinate is the protein fraction of milk and is processed to remove most milk sugar, but it is not certified lactose-free unless specified. Confirm residual lactose and allergen status against the CoA for the grade you require.

How is sodium caseinate supplied and priced in bulk?

We supply sodium caseinate as a soluble protein powder for food-processing and industrial use, with CoA and SDS per lot. Bulk pricing depends on grade, packaging, and volume; request a bulk quote for current pricing and lead time.
