Vinegar causes the milk to curdle by lowering its pH, leading to a separation of the casein protein from the liquid whey. The casein proteins coagulate and form solid curds that can be separated from the liquid, leaving behind casein-free whey.

What are the downsides of turning milk into plastic?

When milk is heated and combined with an acid, such as vinegar, the casein molecules unfold and reorganize into a long chain. Each casein molecule is a monomer and the chain of casein monomers is a polymer. The polymer can be scooped up and molded, which is why plastic made from milk is called casein plastic.

Why does milk and vinegar curdle when mixed?

Vinegar is a dilute acetic acid.ACID CURDLINGIn normal conditions milk has a pH of about 6.5-6.7 and at this pH value the casein is without protons, it has a negative charge and therefore the casein micelles are relatively soluble, because they repel each others. In an acid ambient milk coagulates, because casein has its isoelectric point at 4.6 pH, that is at this pH value it has a quantity of positive charges equal to the quantity of negative charges and the positive part of each "micelle" is attracted by the negative part of the others, causing the formation of ionic bonds among the "micelle" working against the dipole-dipole bonds with water, so that the protein precipitates in the form of demineralized casein and in the solution remain soluble calcium salts.

What is the percent of casein present in buffalo's milk?

Buffalo milk has a different form of casein that does not produce opioid reaction in extremely sensitive individuals called A2 beta casein. The content of this casein is 90% in buffalo milk. Cows produce milk with A1 beta casein.


How do you make plastic from milk?

Its relatively simple. The plastic is called casein. Basically all you need to do is curdle the milk using vinegar. See the link for more detail.

How casein extract from milk?

Casein is extracted from milk by heating the milk, adding acid or enzyme to precipitate the casein, and then separating the solid casein curds from the liquid whey. The curds are then washed and dried to obtain the casein powder.
