A quark matrix having improved taste characteristics is suggested, which is obtainable by (a) subjecting raw milk to heat treatment, separating the cream, (b) subjecting the skimmed milk such obtained to an ultrafiltration step, a microfiltration step, and/or a reverse osmosis step, producing a high-protein retentate R1 and a high-lactose permeate P1 in the process, (c) enriching the retentate with an amount of lactose which corresponds to the amount that had been separated in the ultrafiltration step as permeate before, (d) subjecting the enrichment product such obtained to heat treatment until denaturation sets in, (e) fermenting the denaturation product such obtained by adding starter cultures and rennet, and (f) adjusting the fermentation product such obtained to defined dry matter and protein contents.

The invention relates to a method for producing a cheese having spreading and/or ropy properties when cooked, said cheese being produced from powdered milk protein concentrates. Especially the ratio of the weight of the calcium to the weight of the total nitrogenous matter (Ca/TNM) in said milk protein concentrates is greater than or equal to 0.10% and less than or equal to 2.80%.

The present invention relates to a process for microparticulating of an ideal whey protein in a solution. The present invention relates also to microparticulated ideal whey protein preparation. In addition, the present invention relates to use of the microparticulated ideal whey protein preparation in milk based products and/or dairy products. Further, the present invention relates to a milk based product and/or a dairy product containing a microparticulated whey protein preparation.

Novel cheese products and methods of producing such cheese products that include a biogenerated exopolysaccharide (EPS) formed in-situ and separate from the main cream cheese fermentation. In some approaches, the methods and cheese products herein build a unique texture and/or microstructure that permits the cheese to utilize a simplified ingredient line while still mimicking the desired organoleptic characteristics of more-conventional, full-ingredient cheese.

The present invention relates to a process for microparticulating of an ideal whey protein in a solution by caviataopm. The present invention relates also to microparticulated ideal whey protein preparation. In addition, the present invention relates to use of the microparticulated ideal whey protein preparation in milk based products and/or dairy products. Further, the present invention relates to a milk based product and/or a dairy product containing a microparticulated whey protein preparation.

Disclosed is a method for producing cheese products having the desirable properties of process cheese without the use of all or part of the emulsifying salts normally used to produce a process cheese.

The invention relates to a cheese includes angiogenin and/or angiogenin hydrolysate in an amount of 6.5 mg/100 g to 160 mg/100 g, and lactoperoxidase and/or lactoperoxidase hydrolysate in the mass ratio to the angiogenin and/or angiogenin hydrolysate of 0.3 to 33.

Disclosed is a method for producing cheese products having the desirable properties of process cheese without the use of all or part of the emulsifying salts normally used to produce a process cheese.

A production method for an MP whey is provided, that enables preparation of both of a high GMP-content composition and a usable MP whey from an ordinary MP whey. The problems can be solved by a production method for a glycomacropeptide-containing composition, that includes a step of acquiring a solution containing glycomacropeptide, that includes a glycomacropeptide content of 10% by weight or higher in the protein total amount by condensing and/or applying diafiltration to a microparticulated whey solution.

The invention pertains to a process for simultaneous producing an infant formula product and a dairy product from defatted animal milk, comprising (a) processing the milk into a casein stream, a whey protein stream and a lactose stream by a combination of microfiltration and ultrafiltration, wherein the casein stream originates from the microfiltration as retentate, the whey protein stream originates from the ultrafiltration as retentate and the lactose stream originates from the ultrafiltration as permeate; (b) combining at least part of the whey protein stream originating from step (a) and a lactose source to obtain are combined stream; (c) using the recombined stream originating from step (b) in the manufacture of the infant formula product; and (d) using at least part of the casein stream originating from step (a) and defatted animal milk in the manufacture of the dairy product. The invention further concerns the infant formula product obtainable by step (c) of the process according to the invention, and to the dairy product obtainable by step (d) of the process according to the invention.
