caseinate = casein (transparent) = casein + ate

Adjectival use is formed by the same productive suffix '-ate' on 'casein', meaning 'made from or containing caseinate', which is a regular derivation.

Etymology

Caseinate used as an adjective comes from casein, from the Latin caseus meaning 'cheese'. So when something is described as caseinate, it means it is made from or contains that casein substance.
