Is Paracasein Vegan?

Avoid

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

Paracasein and the Vegan Diet

Paracasein is a protein that results from the coagulation of casein, the main protein found in milk. It is primarily formed during the cheese-making process when milk is treated with rennet, an enzyme that promotes the curdling of milk. This protein is a critical component in the structure and texture of cheese, giving it firmness and elasticity.
