The present invention provides a centrifugal separator (14) for separation of at least two components of a fluid mixture which are of different densities. The centrifugal separator (14) comprises a stationary frame (15), a spindle (16) rotatably supported by the frame, a centrifuge rotor 17 mounted to a first end of the spindle to rotate together with the spindle around an axis (X2) of rotation, wherein the centrifuge rotor comprises a rotor casing enclosing a separation space (18) in which a stack (10) of separation discs (1) is arranged to rotate coaxially with the centrifuge rotor, a separator inlet (29) extending into said separation space for supply of the fluid mixture to be separated, a first separator outlet (33) for discharging a first separated phase from said separation space, a second separator outlet (34) for discharging a second separated phase from said separation space. The stack of separation discs comprises a set of axially aligned separation discs having a truncated conical shape with an inner surface and an outer surface and comprising a plurality spot-formed spacing members extending from a base from at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface for providing interspaces between mutually adjacent separation discs. The of separation discs comprises at least 200 separation discs having a diameter of at least 300 mm, and the surface density of said spot-formed spacing members is above 25 spot-formed spacing members/dm.sup.2 throughout the inner and/or outer surface of the separation disc.

The present invention pertains to a method of producing high fat milk fat globule concentrates by microfiltration, to the concentrates obtained by the method, to a process of producing butter-like milk fat products and to the obtained butter-like milk fat products.

The invention relates to a powdered whipping agent for preparing whipped topping, the whipping agent comprising 57-70 wt. % fat or oil; 1-6.5 wt. % of an alpha-tending emulsifier, selected from the group consisting of lactic acid esters of mono and/or diglycerides of fatty acids, acetic acid esters of mono and/or diglycerides of fatty acids, propyleneglycol monostearate, and mixtures thereof; 0.2-2.0 wt. % of nonionic mono- and/or diglycerides of fatty acids having an acyl chain of 14-20 carbon atoms; 1.0-5 wt. % proteinaceous emulsifier, 18-35 wt. % carbohydrates and 0.1-4 wt. % moisture, and wherein the weight/weight ratio of the fat or oil to the alpha-tending emulsifier is 10 or higher and lower than 30. The invention further relates to a method for preparing such a powdered whipping agent. The invention also relates to a method for preparing a whipped topping using the powdered whipping agent according to the invention. The invention further relates to the use of a powdered whipping agent according to the invention for the preparation of a whipped food product.
