The present invention relates to a method of producing an ideal whey protein concentrate. The whey protein concentrate has a pH in the range of 6.8-7.5 and 70-90% of the total proteins of the concentrate are whey proteins and 10-30% of the total proteins of the concentrate are caseins. The present invention relates also to an ideal whey protein concentrate and its uses in in reducing the total milk protein content and/or in increasing the whey protein content of a spoonable acidified milk product. In addition, the present invention relates to a method of producing a spoonable acidified milk product having high whey protein content but a reduced total milk protein content. The present invention relates also to a spoonable acidified milk product having high whey protein content but a reduced total milk protein content.

The present invention pertains to a new packaged, heat-treated beverage preparation having a pH in the range of 2.0-4.7. The invention furthermore relates to a method of producing a packaged, heat-treated beverage preparation and to different uses of the packaged, heat-treated beverage preparation.

A liquid composition comprised of a micellar casein concentrate (MCC), more specifically a MCC that is of non-bovine origin. Food products comprised of the liquid composition and methods for the production of the liquid composition of present invention.

Therefore, disclosed herein is a composition comprising dietary early glycation products (EGPs) with less than 1 wt % advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Also disclosed is a method for treating or preventing diabetes in a subject, such as type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, or gestational diabetes, that involves administering to a subject in need thereof a composition disclosed herein.

Methods for extracting protein from expired or spoiled milk is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the method includes the steps of acid hydrolysis, first filtration, fine filtration, activation, salting out, degreasing, drying and packaging. Through the combined process of “protein activation” and “self-assembly salting out,” these methods enable the reuse and upcycling of expired and spoiled milk.

The invention relates to a method of producing a food or beverage product, comprising the steps of: providing an ingredient composition comprising micellar caseins, whey protein and plant protein having a pH of 5.9-7.1, preferably 6.2-6.8, and having a concentration of 1 to 15 wt. % of total proteins, and wherein the composition has a micellar casein to whey protein ratio of, 90/10 to 60/40 and a micellar caseins and whey protein to plant protein ratio of 80/20 to 20/80, adding divalent cations to provide a concentration of 2.0-10 mM free divalent cations in the ingredient composition and subsequently heat treating the ingredient composition to form agglomerated proteins comprising micellar casein, whey protein and plant proteins, the agglomerates having a size of 5 to 50 microns as measured by D(4,3) mean diameter as measured by laser diffraction. The invention also relates to a product obtained by this method.

Provided are methods for producing food products comprising recombinant components, and compositions used in and food products produced by such methods.
