Purification and Some of the Properties of αs-Casein and κ-Casein

Abstract
The [alpha]s-casein of milk was prepared by a urea-Na Cl procedure with a final precipitation of impurities by ethanol. [kappa]-Casein was prepared by extraction of whole casein with urea-H2, SO4 supplemented with ethanol precipitation. Electrophoretic mobility, pH of minimal solubility salt-free (isoionic point) and with 0.1 [image] NaCl (isoelectric point), UV absorption and interaction with Ca ions are reported.
