Q. The main protein found in milk is ____:
Answer: Casein
Notes: The major proteins in milk are casein and whey. These two milk proteins are both excellent sources of all the essential amino acids, but they differ in one important aspect—whey is a fast-digesting protein and casein is a slow-digesting protein. As a food source, casein supplies amino acids, carbohydrates, and the two inorganic elements calcium and phosphorus.
