A short description of the difference in the protein content between the skim milk and whey protein samples. Describe the proteins in terms of their size and provide a conclusion about the size of the casein proteins present in the milk sample.
Added by Evelyn F.
Step 1
Step 1: Skim milk contains 70% casein protein, while whey protein contains a mix of milk proteins such as beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, lactoferrin, and immunoglobulins. Show more…

Calculate the average mass of albumin per egg and the average mass of casein in 100 ml of skim milk. Does it correspond to the amount of protein written on the side of the carton and gallon jug? What is the difference in mass? Why might they be different, assuming there was no human error involved? 2. You precipitated casein from skim milk by lowering the pH of the solution to 4.8. If skim milk had another major protein with a pI of 3.5, would you expect the majority of this protein to precipitate with casein? Why or why not?
