The invention provides protein-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles comprising magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to which a lactose-binding protein or enzyme has been immobilized. The protein-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles are particularly suitable for separating lactose from a lactose-containing solution, such as milk, cheese, yoghurt, flavored milk or the like. The protein-functionalized MNPs can be added to the lactose-containing solution and be allowed to bind to the lactose in the solution. The MNPs, to which the lactose is bound, can then be magnetically removed from the solution, e.g. by applying an external magnetic field.

The present invention relates to an acidified protein product. Particularly, the invention relates to acidified protein product which can be used as a cheese or a meat substitute that can be fried or grilled. The present invention relates also the processes for producing such acidified protein products.

The invention relates to a method of processing a pulse protein material, which comprises effecting hydrolysis of the pulse protein material, optionally adjusting the pH, then separating to form a soluble fraction and processing the soluble fraction to provide a pulse protein hydrolyzate which is substantially completely soluble throughout the pH range of about 2 to about 7 and which provides little or no astringency when an acidic beverage containing the pulse protein hydrolyzate is consumed and a solid residue, and processing the solid residue to provide a second pulse protein hydrolyzate having an improved Amino Acid Score, which is improved compared to the substrate pulse protein material.

Provided herein are common starch-based and waxy starch-based hydrolyzed starches. The hydrolyzed starches described herein demonstrate desirable properties over existing hydrolyzed starches for food applications, including but not limited to, dairy, ready-to-eat cereal coatings, clean-label confectionary products, nutritional and cereal bars, crumb chocolate, infant and/or elderly nutrition.

The present invention relates to a process for liquefying cereal proteins. A process for making hydrolysed cereal protein is also disclosed. A composition comprising hydrolysed cereal proteins obtained by the process of the present invention and its uses in food and feed applications are also disclosed. Particularly, the use of a composition comprising hydrolysed wheat proteins as partial or total replacement of animal protein in calf milk is disclosed.

Disclosed is a method for recovering protein hydrolysates from high-fat protein concentrates. The method can be used, for example, to produce a whey protein hydrolysate from the by-product retentate of the manufacture of whey protein isolates, as well as to isolate the milk fat globule membrane from a high-fat whey protein concentrate starting material.
