Caseinates are used as texturizers in ice cream, ice milk, sherbet, and frozen custard.  They are also used as binders or extenders in some lunchmeats and soups and as a clarifying agent in wine.

Casein is a nutritive protein source found in many “protein” powders. Many people are allergic to milk and specifically to the casein molecule and therefore should avoid foods with added caseinates.
