The addition of the alkali potassium makes the caseinate predominantly useful for its high nutritional value.  Besides, potassium is a vital mineral that safeguards the proper functioning of cells, synthesis of carbohydrates and proteins, and proper transmission and distribution of nerve impulses. The potassium caseinate is thus added to the functional food and beverages, including bakery & confectionery, beverages, processed meat, snack food, frozen desserts, and others. Also, potassium caseinate is used in infant and clinical nutrition products.
