Pasta filata cheese products of the Mozzarella type are suggested, obtainable or obtained by: (a) subjecting milk to bactofugation or filtration, obtaining a bactofugate or a bacterial concentrate and a treated milk; (b) sterilising and, optionally, standardising the bactofugate or the bacterial concentrate obtained in step (b); (c) blending the treated milk of step (a) with the sterilised bactofugate or the bacterial concentrate of step (b); (d) coagulating the blended product of step (c) while adding starter cultures and/or rennet; (e) separating the coagulated milk of step (d) into whey and curd; (f) processing the whey with fine curd particles contained therein obtained in step (e) into a stable suspension; (g) subjecting the curd obtained in step (e) to heat treatment, and (h) shaping the heat-treated product of step (g),
wherein the suspension produced in step (f) is either added to the bactofugate or the bacterial concentrate obtained in step (a), or to the sterilised bactofugate or the bacterial concentrate obtained in step (b).

The present invention relates to a process for making a cheese composition that produces a high viscosity fluid cheese product for industrial application. A further aspect of the present invention is the cheese composition obtainable by the process and food products comprising said cheese composition.

The present disclosure relates to a process for producing cream cheese using a specific combination of milk and milk fractions. It further relates to cream cheese which is characterized by a unique combination of levels of minerals, lactose and protein and which may be obtained by the process of the present disclosure.

A method for making a new food, feed or pharmaceutical product comprising addition of a composition comprising cross-linked, via intermolecular covalent isopeptide bonds, casein glycomacropeptide (CGMP) oligomers (CGMP oligomers) to the product.

Provided herein are cheese and yogurt compositions and the methods of making the same using one or more recombinant proteins.

Provided herein is a composition that includes choline or choline salt and omega-3 fatty acid for nutritionally enhancing a food product, as well as the resultant food products. The food product when nutritionally enhanced with the composition has an acceptable taste or acceptable odor or the food product has a peroxide value of less than 50 mEq. Methods of preparing the composition and food products are also are provided. As seen in the accompanying figure the discoveries outlined herein have resulted in an unprecedented level of organoleptic stability over time, with no significant change to key sensory parameters typically seen in products that contain high levels of choline and omega-3 fatty acids.

The invention relates to a baked cheesecake comprising a crust and a filling wherein the filling comprises 2-7 wt. % , based on the dry weight of the filling, of whey protein preferably derived from a whey protein source comprising at least 34% whey protein by weight. The invention is based on the finding that the use of certain whey proteins are able to reduce or even prevent crack formation in the filling of baked cheesecake. The invention is further related to a method of preparing a baked cheesecake, wherein use is made of specific whey proteins. Further, the invention pertains to a powdered ingredient composition suitable for preparing a cheesecake filling that comprises, based on total weight of the composition, 4-30 wt. % of a whey protein source preferably comprising at least 34% whey protein by weight, 25-45 wt. % fat and 25-50 wt. % carbohydrates.

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.

A food product comprising a neutralized yogurt whey.

Disclosed herein is an anticaking agent for cheese, comprising one or more dairy ingredients; and one or more non-dairy ingredients. When applied the anticaking agent is applied to a divided cheese, it has low visibility on the divided cheese, prevents caking of the divided cheese, and browns similarly to divided cheese without the anticaking agent when baked in an impinger oven at between 425° F. and 450° F. for 5 minutes. Also disclosed are food products containing an anticaking agent described herein, and methods for treating divided cheese for anticaking using an anticaking agent described herein.
