A use of texturized dairy proteins is suggested, obtainable or obtained by providing (a) a mixture, containing or consisting of (a1) about 25 to about 75% by weight dairy proteins, and (a2) about 75 to about 25% by weight a plant protein and/or a fibre material with the proviso that the quantities add up to 100% by weight, (b) the mixture is extruded in the presence of water and/or whey, applying a temperature gradient of about 20 to about 200 C. and a pressure in the range of 1 to about 200 bar, and (c) subsequently expanding the extrudate,
as a substitute for carbohydrates and as a source of protein in foods.

The invention relates to a method of preparing a whey-derived composition enriched with respect to whey phospholipids by membrane filtration, and preferably also enriched with respect to other membrane components from whey. The membrane filtration is furthermore followed by a special microfiltration-based germ filtration which the inventors have found to be efficient for reducing the microbial content of the whey-derived composition while keeping nutritionally important components in the whey-derived composition. The invention furthermore relates to the whey-derived composition as such, use of the whey-derived composition as in ingredient in nutritional products, and to nutritional products comprising the whey-derived composition.

The present disclosure relates to microencapsulated compositions comprising one or more hydrophobic materials encapsulated by an encapsulant, wherein the encapsulant comprises one or more modified proteins and/or peptides; and wherein the one or more modified proteins and/or peptides are obtained from a starting protein by subjecting the starting protein to a high shear process, such that the average particle size of the one or more modified proteins and/or peptides is reduced relative to the starting protein. The present disclosure further relates to methods for protecting a hydrophobic material from oxidative degradation, for improving the oxidative stability of a hydrophobic material, for reducing the surface free fat of a microencapsulated composition, and to stable emulsions and composition comprising a hydrophobic material

A method of producing microparticles by spray drying comprises the steps of providing a spray-drying feedstock solution comprising water, a volatile divalent metal salt, weak acid, 5-15% dairy or vegetable protein (w/v) and 1-20% active agent (w/v). The feedstock solution is adjusted to have a pH at which the volatile divalent metal salt is substantially insoluble. The feedstock solution is then spray-dried at an elevated temperature to provide atomised droplets, whereby the volatile divalent metal salt disassociates at the elevated temperature to release divalent metal ions which crosslink and aggregate the protein in the atomised droplets to produce micro-particles having a crosslinked aggregated protein matrix and active agent dispersed throughout the matrix.
