Casein (used in plastics, clothing, cosmetics, adhesives and paint)
After World War II, the chemical industry saw a great expansion where Celluloid and other plastics such as Casein and Bakelite formed the basis of the buckle-making industry.
Casein has been documented to break down in the stomach to produce the peptide casomorphin (above stated that "Human digestion may break down casomorphins into inactive dipeptides by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4"), an opioid that acts as a histamine releaser.
Gluten-free, casein-free diet, a diet that eliminates intake of gluten and casein
Chymosin (EC 3.4.23.4) is an aspartic protease that specifically hydrolyzes the peptide bond in Phe105-Met106 of κ- casein and is considered to be the most efficient protease for the cheesemaking industry.
Casein is easily applied either as a thick coat with a hand trowel or, for delicate thin leaf stems, with a fine brush.

Casein has the advantage of drying quickly and affords a soft enough surface that can be sanded smooth with 220-grit sandpaper.
Santa Clara Pueblo artist Pablita Velarde created a series of more than 70 paintings of everyday Native American life in New Mexico for Bandelier National Monument between 1937 and 1943, painted mostly on masonite using casein paints.
It resembles the casein of mammalian milk, with which it was considered identical by Liebig and others, and was therefore called “vegetable casein.”
Cheeses that meet the DO requirements carry a casein tab that is applied when the cheese is in the mould and bear a distinctive label that is issued by the Manchego Cheese Denomination of Origin Regulating Council; this carries the legend Queso Manchego, a serial number, and artwork depicting Don Quixote de La Mancha.
