A packaged product consisting essentially of a chilled dairy beverage in closed cup is disclosed. The beverage may be foamed by shaking, to provide pleasant foamy texture.

The invention relates to a method of separating components from milk and utilizing the separated components to form blended dairy compositions. The present invention relates to nutritional milk compositions and products which are designed to include per serving size a specified percentage range of one or more components separated from milk. The compositions of the present invention can optionally include non-essential but nutritionally functional components.

The invention relates to a method of separating components from milk, and the apparatus used therefor. The invention also relates to compositions prepared from the separated components. The present invention relates to nutritional milk compositions and products which are designed to include per serving size a specified percentage range of one or more components separated from milk. The compositions of the present invention can optionally include non-essential but nutritionally functional components. The complete nutritional milk compositions of the present invention can be provided as unflavored milks, flavored milks, ice creams and yogurts.

Process for obtaining a milk fraction enriched in immunoglobulins, preferably enriched in IgA and IgM, comprising the steps of (a) subjecting skimmed milk to microfiltration, resulting in an MF retentate rich in micellar casein and an MF permeate rich in whey proteins, (b) subjecting the MF retentate to a casein precipitation or cheese-making process, thereby creating a casein-rich fraction and a whey fraction, (c) subjecting the whey fraction obtained in step b) to microfiltration and/or anion exchange chromatography, thereby obtaining a milk fraction enriched in immunoglobulins.

A process for producing lactose-free dairy products is suggested, comprising the following steps: (a) Hydrolysis of a starting milk while adding lactase; (b) Nanofiltration of the hydrolysis product for producing a first permeate P1 and a first retentate R1; (c) Reverse osmosis or nanofiltration of the first permeate P1 for producing a second permeate P2 and a second retentate R2; (d) Mixing the first retentate R1 with such an amount of the second permeate P2 and the retentate R2 that a standardized dairy product is obtained, the content of proteins and minerals of which correspond to the one of the starting milk.

A process for producing dairy products with a defined lactose content is suggested, comprising the following steps: (a) Ultrafiltration of a starting milk for producing a first permeate P1 and a first retentate R1; (b) Nanofiltration of the first permeate P1 for producing a second perorate P2 and a second retentate R2; (c) Hydrolysis of the second retentate R2 while adding lactase; (d) Mixing the first retentate R1 with such an amount of the second permeate P2 and the hydrolysis product of step (c) each that a standardized dairy product is obtained, the content of proteins and minerals of which corresponds to the one of the starting milk.

The present disclosure provides a method for preparing concentrated high-protein yogurt before fermentation, belonging to the technical field of dairy product processing. The method for preparing the concentrated high-protein yogurt before fermentation in the present disclosure includes: enabling a high-protein base material with a decalcification rate of 21.8-44.2% to be subjected to heat treatment at pH of 6.6-6.8 and temperature of 80-95 C. for 10-30 min; after that, cooling to 40-45 C., adding 0.05-0.2% (w/w) of a starter, and carrying out high end-point pH fermentation at 40-45 C. until the pH drops to 4.8-5.0; and then, performing low-temperature after-ripening to obtain the high-protein yogurt. Compared with high-protein yogurt prepared by a whey discharge process after fermentation, the concentrated high-protein yogurt prepared according to the present disclosure has similar or better soft texture, delicate taste, water holding capacity and digestibility, and is higher in calcium content.

Disclosed are methods for preparing dairy compositions using a final nanofiltration step. Generally, the methods also include an ultrafiltration step and a reverse osmosis step, and optionally, a diafiltration step.
