The present invention discloses an antifreeze solution for food preservation, which comprises edible alcohol, propylene glycol, glycerin, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, amino acid, Antarctic krill protein hydrolysate with an average molecular weight of 50-100 KDa, surfactant and water, wherein the surfactant is one or more of phospholipid, Tween-20, Tween-60, and Tween-80; each component is food grade, and the mass percentage is expressed as follows: alcohol 15-30%, propylene glycol 10-30%, glycerol 2-15%, calcium chloride 1-10%, sodium chloride 3-10%, amino acid 0.1-0.15%, Antarctic krill protein hydrolysate 0.01-0.3%, surfactant 0.005-0.5%, and the balance is water. The antifreeze solution provided by the present invention can lower the freezing point, improve the heat transfer efficiency, inhibit the crystallization of antifreeze solution during the low temperature stirring process and improve the stability of the antifreeze solution.

A protein-rich composition can be provided from egg albumen via a process that involves diafiltering with purified water an egg albumen concentrate. Collected retentate from the diafiltration step constitutes a protein-rich composition which, on a dry basis, can include less than 1% (w/w) lipids. The composition can be spray dried to a protein isolate solid which is substantially free of sugars.

A food-processing system having a metering pump for filling a casing with food material, a linker for forming links in the filled casing and depositing a linked strand on a conveyor, and a plurality of servo motors arranged to drive each of a plurality of driven components of the processing system. The food-processing system being implemented according to a two-step ramp-up method that enables increased control of a first end and a second end of the linked strand using a first speed, and enables faster processing of the linked strand between the ends at a second speed higher than the first speed.

The present invention relates to a bioactive sweet whey protein concentrate or composition for increasing e.g. cognitive functions particularly in young mammals such as pre-term or term infants, toddlers, children or young adults. The present invention further disclose a new concept for large-scale industrial production method of bioactive whey protein concentrates or compositions by use of mild heat treatment and pressure driven membrane separation.

Dairy products are produced by subjecting a starting dairy material to nanofiltration to remove monovalent ions to produce an ion-depleted dairy permeate; passing the ion-depleted dairy permeate through an ion exchange column and subsequently with a sodium-containing eluting solution to produce sodium phosphate and sodium citrate derived from the starting material; concentrating the sodium phosphate and sodium citrate; and combining the concentrated sodium phosphate and sodium citrate with dairy components. The dairy product contains an amount of the concentrated sodium phosphate and sodium citrate sufficient to cause fat in the dairy product to be emulsified and protein in the dairy product to be hydrated. In addition or alternatively, a dairy by-product stream may be subjected to ion exchange to remove calcium therefrom; concentrated, and combined with dairy materials naturally containing phosphate and citrate in order to adjust the citrate+phosphate-to-calcium ratio to reach an emulsified dairy product.
