The present invention discloses processes for the preparation of phospholipid-enriched dairy products as nutraceuticals for the formulation of functional foods, the processes include the steps of: combining a non-dairy-based PL-containing material, having phosphatidylserine (PS) and/or phosphatidic acid (PA) in the PL-containing material, wherein the PS and/or PA is derived in part from an enzymatically-processed lecithin as a PS-calcium and/or -magnesium salt and/or a PA-calcium and/or-magnesium salt via transphosphatidylation with phospholipase D in the presence of L-serine and a calcium and/or magnesium salt, with water and an oil component to form a paste; removing an excess amount of the water from the paste to form a PL-oil solution; and mixing the PL-oil solution with a dairy component, thereby obtaining a PL-enriched dairy product. Alternatively, the PL-oil solution has a weight-to-weight (w-w) concentration of at least about 0.01% of a residual amount of the water to the PL-containing material.

The present invention relates to a nutritional formulation of yoghurt type, a cream, a dessert cream, an iced dessert or sorbet and a cheese and containing a pea protein isolate, characterized in that the pea protein isolate: contains between 0.5 and 2% of free amino acids, has a viscosity: from 13 to 1610.sup.3 Pa.Math.s. at a shear rate of 10 s.sup.1, from 10 to 1410.sup.3 Pa.Math.s. at shear rate of 40 s.sup.1, and from 9.8 to 1410.sup.3 Pa.Math.s. at a shear rate of 600 s.sup.1, has a solubility: from 30 to 40% in pH zones from 4 to 5 from 40 to 70% in pH zones from 6 to 8. The invention also relates to the use of this nutritional formulation as a single protein source or as a food supplement, intended for infants, children and/or adults.
