Claims13
A method for producing a casein micelle, the method comprising:
- contacting at least one casein protein with a liquid medium comprising calcium and phosphate;
- wherein said liquid medium has a pH of between about 5.0 and 6.5;
- wherein said phosphate is present at a molar concentration that is equal to or below about 20 mM;
- and
- wherein the molar ratio between said calcium and said phosphate is greater than 1.1, wherein said at least one casein protein comprises αs1 casein and/or αs2 casein, and β casein as a sole casein proteins.
2 more elements
A casein micelle, comprising:
- at least one casein protein, the at least one casein protein consisting of:
- αs1 casein, αs2 casein, and β casein.
