Abstract:
Casein proteins are cheap, non-toxic, easily available, highly stable, biodegradable and are GRAS approved, making it a suitable candidate for use in encapsulating material. Moreover, casein protein offers some unique features, making them appropriate for these uses. The proteins could be modified to improve the properties related to its specific use. The review highlights some interesting applications of different formulations of casein (nanoparticles, films, composites, hydrogels, microspheres) in the food industry.
