Breastfeeding is the only recommended diet for infants during the first six months of life, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). However, since there is not always enough breast milk available, alternatives are crucial. Lactose, demineralized whey powder, casein and caseinates, and whey protein concentrates are essential for standardizing infant food because breast milk has less protein than cow's milk. Caseinates provide a balanced and digestible source of nutrition for infants. Caseinates are stable against heat treatment, making them an essential protein source in infant nutrition products. Potassium caseinate and calcium caseinate act as good protein and calcium sources in infant nutrition products. Calcium is an essential nutrient for overall growth and bone development in babies. Thus, the demand for calcium-enriched infant nutrition products is high among parents, boosting the demand for calcium caseinates among baby food manufacturers. Manufacturers are offering infant nutrition products enriched with caseinates owing to the increasing awareness about the requirement of nutrients in infant food formulations.
