迫 Experimental principle 1. Casein is a kind of complex phosphoprotein, and due to its nature of being amphoteric compound, the acid-base property of the solution will obviously affect the charge on protein. When the ph of milk adjusted close to the pl of casein (pl=4.8), the protein becomes neutral. Since its lowest solubility, sediment will form, which could be separated through centrifugation NH NH2 H salt high solubility low solubility salt( high solubility)●

Attention 1. The milk could not be long-placed or the lactose will transform to lactic acid which may affect the isolation 2. Excess acetic acid is not allowed. since the acetic acid will accelerate the hydrolysis of lactose
