Casein is an example of :

  • A.Regenerated protein
  • B.Synthetic polymer
  • C.Mineral fiber
  • D.Vegetable fiber

Answer: A

Casein is an example of a regenerated protein fibre.

Regenerated fibres are made by dissolving a natural polymer and spinning it back into filaments. Casein, the main protein of milk, is dissolved and extruded to make a wool-like protein fibre, sold historically as Lanital and Aralac; other regenerated protein fibres were made from soya and groundnut protein.

It is not a synthetic polymer, which is built from small petrochemical molecules (nylon, polyester), not a mineral fibre such as asbestos or glass, and not a vegetable fibre such as cotton or jute, which is cellulose.
