Abstract
This report reviews the changes and additions to the nomenclature of the major casein fractions, and of fl-lactaglobulin, that have been necessary over the past five years. In addition, fairly extensive reports are included on v-casein, a-laetalbumin, the immune globulins, and the proteose-peptone fraction. The information is summarized in tabular form. The nomenclature of all milk proteins remains fluid and there seems little likelihood that the situation will stabilize, i.e., that discovery of additional components and variants will cease.
