The invention relates to a process for treating a protein-containing composition. The process includes the provision of a protein-containing composition wherein the proteins comprise milk proteins and said milk proteins comprise at least 90 wt. % -lactoglobulins. The composition is contacted with a transglutaminase to obtain a cross-linked protein-containing composition. This process enhances not only the heat stability, in particular in presence of calcium but also the texture properties of such protein-containing compositions. The invention also relates to cross-linked protein-containing compositions obtainable or obtained by said process, to a process for preparing dairy products or alternatives thereof with such compositions and to the resulting dairy products or alternatives thereof.

Described herein are engineered hemichannels, engineered vesicles that can contain the one or more of the engineered hemichannels, pharmaceutical formulations thereof, and uses thereof. In some aspects, the engineered vesicles can include one or more cargo molecules. Also described herein are methods of loading the engineered vesicles. In some aspects, loading of one or more cargo molecules engineered vesicles can be optionally via an engineered hemichannel contained in the engineered vesicle.

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.

An infant formula milk powder is rich in milk fat globule membrane protein, phospholipids, and oligosaccharides. A preparation method includes using raw cow milk as raw material, cleaning and pre-sterilizing raw cow milk, adding MFGM-rich whey protein powder, -lactalbumin powder, galactooligosaccharides, polyfructoses and other ingredients into the pre-sterilized raw cow milk, and performing pre-sterilization, homogenization, sterilization, concentration, and spray drying. By means of formula adjustment, the contents of biologically active substances having special functional components such as MFGM-protein, lactoferrin, -lactalbumin, total galactooligosaccharide, total polyfructose, sialic acid, total phospholipid, sphingomyelin, lecithin, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamines, phosphatidylinositol, ganglioside, triglyceride and diglyceride in the infant formula milk powder are increased, thereby facilitating the colonization of probiotics in the intestinal microbiota of an infant, especially significantly enriching lactic acid bacteria in an intestinal tract, while reducing unclassified bacterial family and other miscellaneous bacteria.

The invention concerns a sweetened dairy product comprising a dairy material, at least one steviol glycoside, and a lactase enzyme.

The present invention relates to preserving vitamin in a nutritional composition during shelf-life.

Methods of treating or preventing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and/or treating or preventing one or more GDM-associated risks or one or more sequelae of GDM by administering one or more polar lipids, in addition to uses, compositions, and medicaments comprising one or more polar lipids to treat or prevent gestational diabetes mellitus and/or treat or prevent one or more GDM-associated risks or one or more sequelae of GDM.

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 present disclosure provides a human milk fortifier product composition with, a protein component in the milk fortifier in an amount ranging from 6 wt/wt % to 35 wt/wt % on solids basis; a fat component in the in the milk fortifier in an amount ranging from 0.1 wt/wt % to 36 wt/wt % on solids basis; a carbohydrate in the milk fortifier selected from the group of Lactose and Oligosaccharides present in the in an amount from 25 wt/wt % to 75 wt/wt % on solids basis; small molecules consisting of Oligosaccharides in the human milk fortified by the said fortifier is at least 25% more than the human milk alone. The majority of small molecules consisting of Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, LCPUFA, Epidermal growth factor and many others are retained in the fortifier product.

The present invention provides a breast milk structured lipid simulating the composition of triglycerides and the method for preparing the same. The breast milk structured lipid exhibits a similarity of over 90% to breast milk lipid, including the contents of less than 0.3 mg/kg of esterified propenyl glycerol, less than 0.5 mg/kg of chloropropanol esters, and less than 0.3 g/100 g of trans fatty acids. The final product of the present invention exhibits a composition highly similar to breast milk while also meeting the requirements of the national food safety standard GB30604-2015.
