Deamidated Casein Powder
Deamidated casein powder is a chemically modified casein derivative produced by treating casein with acids or enzymes to remove amide groups, which enhances its solubility for use in bakery emulsions and other food applications. It is classified under tariff item 3501.90.00 as an 'other' casein derivative, as it is not a casein glue and is not excluded by Chapter 35 notes (e.g., not a hardened protein or gelatin product).
