Allergens - Milk RIDASCREEN®FAST Casein General Information: Cow`s milk contains 3.2 % proteins which consist of 10 % ß-lactoglobulin (leading protein of whey) and 80 % caseins. The most important allergen is ß-lactoglobulin (especially for children) while the caseins become to be dominant later in adults. Casein (lat. Caseus = cheese) is a rough flaked curdling protein, which forms micells in the milk and precipitates under acidic conditions. The group of caseins consists of the αs- caseins, the ß-caseins, the κ-casein, and the γ-caseins (proteolytic protein fragment of ß- casein by the milk protease plasmin). κ-casein is cleaved into a hydrophobic (para κ- casein) and into a water soluble polar component (macropeptid) by proteolysis, e.g. by using lab ferment. Milk can be present as an ingredient or as a contamination in raw and processed food products. Milk must be declared as an ingredient on food labels as it can induce allergic reactions at infancy. Whey (ß-lactoglobulin) or caseinates (e.g. in sausages) are often added to food products, therefore it is recommended to determine casein in food. Sample Preparation Detection Limit
