In this study, different adhesives manufactured by using various casein powders (micellar casein, αS-, β-and ĸ-casein fractions, sodium caseinate and calcium caseinate) were investigated for their properties and potential application in the food industry. Casein-based adhesives using different sources of caseins were produced and the differences in their adhesive strength were determined. For the isolation of casein fractions, the methods of selective solubility, precipitation and a decanter centrifuge (for separation of precipitated casein and supernatant) were used. Achieved purities of αS-, β-and κ-casein fractions were higher than 25, 91 and 54%, respectively. Results showed that the type of casein raw material used in the production of adhesives had an influence on the adhesive properties and the highest adhesive strength was achieved with the enriched αS-casein fraction and micellar casein.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
