Summary

We have investigated the role of pH in the destabilization of milk and sodium caseinate solutions by ethanol. Ethanol shifted the pH of minimum stability of both caseinate and milk to higher values. A linear relation between this pH and the reciprocal dielectric constant of the mixture was observed. The addition of calcium to these alcoholic mixtures also increased the pH of minimum stability. The results are discussed in terms of the alcohol-induced shifts in the pK values of important constituent amino acids and of the effect of alcohol on soluble Ca levels.
