caseate
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: caseates
Etymology: From caseic acid + -ate (“salt or ester”).
Senses: glosses: Synonym of caseinate.
synonyms: word: caseinate
examples: text: Two peculiar principles have been discovered by Proust, in the caseous matter of milk, which he has named Caseic acid, and Caseous oxide. The former is obtained by keeping the curd of milk for several days in water, when acetic, phosphoric and caseic acids are produced, all saturated with ammonia, which is generated at the same time. The washings of the curd on evaporation yield a saline mass, slightly transparent, and tasting strongly of cheese; this is dissolved in alcohol and boiled with carbonate of lead, which removes the phosphoric acid: the caseate and acetate of lead remain in solution and are to be decomposed by sulphuretted hydrogen; lastly, by distillation, the acetic acid being volatile, is separated from the caseic acid. The latter is of the colour and consistence of syrup, red-lens litmus paper, and has a sour and bitter taste, mixed with that of cheese; it soon becomes solid, forming a mass like honey. It precipitates the oxides of silver, gold, and mercury, but scarcely any of the other metallic oxides. With infusion of galls it forms a thick white precipitate; nitric acid converts it into oxalic acid. It exists in cheese in the state of caseate of ammonia, and gives the peculiar flavour. The caseous oxide remains after the action of alcohol on the saline mass before described. It is a bulky white powder; when purified by frequent washing it is tasteless, soft and friable; it is dissolved by hot water and by liquid potash, but not by alcohol or ether. It is often present in cheese in distinct grains, which are hard and gritty. Caseate of ammonia and caseous oxide form from 30 to 50 per cent. of good cheese.

Senses: examples: text: 1889, A. W. Howitt, Australian Message-sticks and Messengers, British Association for the Advancement of Science, Report of the Annual Meeting, Volume 58, page 842,
The use of message-sticks is not universal in Australian tribes, and the degree of perfection reached in conveying information by them differs much.
text: 1956, Charles Pearcy Mountford, American-Australian Scientific Expedition to Arnheim Land, Art, Myth and Symbolism, page 466,
The scattered records of message sticks in the anthropological literature of the last seventy-five years indicate that, in one form or another, they have been, or still are being, used over most of aboriginal Australia.
text: A quick scanning of the Australian Aboriginal literature on ‘message sticks’ indicates that it has been fashionable since at least the 1880s (for example, Howitt 1899) to interpret them as mnemonic devices for their bearers, who delivered the message verbally, plus perhaps asome totemic symbol to vouch for the bona fides of the bearer or the sender. Conversely, Yolngu assert that message sticks (balarm) themselves did (and still can) convey information about the precise time that, say, a ceremony is planned, as well as how many people were invited and expected to attend.
ref: 1994, Robert Layton, Who Needs the Past?: Indigenous Values and Archaeology, page 77:
text: The message stick was an important way for groups that did not speak the same language to communicate. Before entering a new territory, Aboriginal Australians would hold up a message stick carved with their group′s totem.
