Introduction

Milk is a white fluid secreted by the mammary glands of livin g


organisms. It is the food of exceptional inters probability. Milk is
also known to contain all sorts of micronutrients essential for the
body of an organism. The major milk protein casein is found only
in milk and nowhere in the world. The composition of casein is not
constant and depends upon the source of milk.

Average composition of milk from different sources is given below:

Source Water Mineral Protein Fats Carbohydrates

of milk (%) (%) (%) (%) (%)

Cow 87.1 0.7 3.4 3.9 4.9

Human 87.4 0.2 1.4 4.0 4.9

Goat 87.0 0.7 3.3 4.2 4.8

Sheep 82.6 0.9 5.5 6.5 4.5

Casein is a major protein constituent in milk & is a mixed


phosphor-protein. Casein has isoelectric pH of about 4.7 and can
be easily separated around this isoelectric pH. It readily dissolves in
dilute acids and alkalies. Casein is present in milk as calcium
caseinate in the form of micelles. These micelles have negative
charge and on adding acid to milk the negative charges are
neutralized.

THEOR/
Natural milk is an opaque white fluid Secreted by the mammary
glands of Female mammals. The main constituents of natural milk
are Protein, Carbohydrate, Mineral Vitamins, Fats and Water and
is a complete balanced diet . Fresh milk is sweetish in taste.
However, when it is kept for long time at a temperature of 5
degree it become sour because of bacteria present in air . These
bacteria convert lactose of milk into lactic acid which is sour in
taste. In acidic condition casein of milk starts separating out as a
precipitate. When the acidity in milk is sufficient and temperature
is around 36 degree, it forms semi-solid mass, called curd.

AIM
To study the quantity of Casein in different samples of milk.

REQUIREMENTS
• Beakers(250 ml)
• Filtration Flasks
• Measuring Cylinders
• Glass rod
• Spatula
• China Dish
• Dropper
• Weight Bore
• Different samples of Milk
• 10% Acetic Acid

PROCEDURE
1. A clean dry beaker has been taken, followed by putting 20 ml
of cow’s milk into it and adding 20 ml of saturated
ammonium sulphate solution slowly and with stirring. Fat
along with Casein was precipitate out.
2. The solution was filtered and transferred the precipitates in
another beaker. Added about 30 ml of water to the
precipitate. Only Casein dissolves in water forming milky
solution leaving fat undissolved.
3. The milky solution was heated to about 40 o C and add 10%
acetic acid solution drop-wise, when casein got precipitated.
4. Filtered the precipitate, washed with water and the
precipitate was allowed to dry.
5. Weighed the dry solid mass in a previously weighed watch
glass.
6. The experiment was repeated with other samples of milk.

OBSERVATIONS

Content of
Sample No. Source % of Casein
Protein
1. Cow Milk 0.60 3.00
2. Goat Milk 0.65 3.25
3. Buffalo Milk 0.85 4.20
4. Amul Milk 0.75 3.88
CONCLUSION

Different samples of milk contain different percentage of Casein.
