CASEIN AND SOURING OF MILK



There are three kinds of proteins in milk: casein, lactalbumins, and lactoglobulins. All three are globular proteins, which tend to fold back on themselves into compact, nearly spheroidal units and are more easily solubilizied in water as collodial suspensions than fibrous proteins are. They are “complete proteins”, so called because they contain all the amino acids essential for building blood and tissue, and they can sustain life and provide normal growth even if they are the only proteins, but they can contain greater amounts of amino acids than the proteins in egg and meat.
Casein, the main protein in milk, is a phosphoprotein. The phosphate groups are attached to the hydroxyl groups of some of the amino acid side chains. Casein exists in milk as the calcium salt, calcium caseinate. It is actually a mixture of at least three similar proteins which differ primarily in molecular weight and the amount of phosphorus groups they contain ( α, β and κ caseins), they form a micelle, or a solublized unit. Neither the α nor the β casein is soluble in milk and neither is soluble either singly or in combination. If κ casein is added to either one, or to a combination of the two, however, the result is a casein complex that is soluble owing to the formation of the micelle.
  
Calcium caseinate has an isoelectric point of pH 4.6. Therefore, it is insoluble in solutions of pH less than 4.6. The pH of milk is about 6.6; therefore, casein has negative charge at this pH and is solubilized as a salt. If acid is added to milk, the negative charges on the outer surface of the casein micelles are neutralized (by protonation of the phosphate groups) and the neutral protein precipitates, with the calcium ions remaining in solution:

Ca-caseinate + 2H+  → casein + Ca2+

A natural example of this process occurse when milk sours. The souring of milk is an intricate process started by the action of microorganisms on the principal carbohydrate in milk, lactose. The microorganisms hydrolyse the lactose into glucose and galactose. Once galactose has been formed, lactobacilli, a strain of bacteria present in milk, convert it to the sour-tasting lactic acid. Since the production of the lactic acid also lowers the pH of the milk, the milk clots when it sours due to the precipitation of casein. The structure of lactic acid is shown below 

Many "cultured" milk products are manufactured by allowing milk to sour before it is processed. For instance, milk or cream is usually allowed to sour somewhat by lactic acid bacteria before it is churned  to make butter. The fluid left after the milk is churned is sour and is called buttermilk. Other cultured milk products include sour cream, yogurt, and certain types of cheese.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I am grateful to Almighty for giving me the inner strength and vision in my journey of life where this project work is no less a milestone.           
          First of all I thank my chemistry mentor MR. PRONIL BORA for his vital support, guidance and encouragement without which this project would not have come forth.
         A Special thanks to my teacher DR. PALASHMONI SAIKIA for his continuous support, advices and for giving useful suggestions and relevant ideas that facilitate an easy and early completion of this project
          I also express my gratitude our Lab Assistants SRI NIRANJAN DEKA, SRI PRANJAL BORAH, SRI PRATIM SAIKIA, SRI MANJUL BHUYAN AND RATUL BORAH for their willingness in providing us with necessary lab equipments and constant support without which this effort would have been worthless
          I am grateful to my parents and my brother whose blessing and wishes have gone a long way in the completion of this task
          Last but not the least I thank all my friends specially my best friend, without their prompt support my efforts would have been in vain

 Preface
Milk is a complex biological mixture of chemicals that serves as the primary food source
for infant mammals. Milk contains most of the biological molecules necessary to sustain life including 
water, a variety of vitamins, minerals, proteins, sugars, and lipids (DNA, although necessary for life, is 
made by your body and therefore is not needed on a dietary level). Although most mammals stop 
drinking milk upon maturity, many (but not all) human cultures continue drinking milk and consuming 
milk products (for example, cheese, butter, and cream) throughout their entire life. 

It would be quite challenging to isolate every component of milk because some of the chemicals
are present in very small quantities. One can very easily, however, isolate the most abundant
components from each other. A common example of this 
is removing the fat from cow’s milk to make skim milk or 
removing the sugar from milk to make lactose‐free milk.

 The aim of this project is to isolate casein the most important protein present in milk. Through this work an attempt has been made to compare the percentage of casein present in cow,goat and buffalo milk. The isolated casein will be then characterized by biuret test and xanthoproteic test.

 Moulding Chemistry towards a better tomorrow (RCCRP).

Dated: 22-10-2012



Dear Participants,
                             Thanks for your overwhelming response. We have received 73 abstracts for RCCRP. That is really encouraging for us. There will be 10 invited lectures. I welcome you all to RCCRP.
                    In view of large number of participants we are also encouraging poster presentation. Thos who are interested in POSTER presentation kindly inmate us on or before 30-10-2012. I also request the participants to design their oral presentations as short as possible.  See you all at Tezpur.
We are also going to publish the proceeding of the seminar as post publication. If you are interested you can send the full paper as soft copy.You can also submit CD of the same at the time of registration.
