Paracasein is a form of casein, a protein found in dairy.

Paracasein and the Dairy Free Diet

Paracasein is an insoluble form of casein that is integral to the cheese-making process. It is created when milk is treated with rennet, causing the casein to coagulate and form a curd. This protein is responsible for the texture and structure of cheese, making it a key component in a variety of dairy products. As a derivative of milk, paracasein contains lactose and should be avoided by those with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance.
