Casein, a milk protein, does not typically give a positive aldehyde test. The aldehyde test is primarily used to identify aldehyde functional groups, which are not present in casein's structure. Instead, casein contains peptide bonds and amino acids, which do not react in the same way as aldehydes. Therefore, casein will not produce a characteristic reaction in an aldehyde test.
