The current invention concerns a new B. subtilis strain with strong inhibition of swine and poultry related pathogens and its use as probiotic.

The present invention pertains to a method of producing high fat milk fat globule concentrates by microfiltration, to the concentrates obtained by the method, to a process of producing butter-like milk fat products and to the obtained butter-like milk fat products.

The present invention relates to a polypeptide having lipase activity wherein the polypeptide, which, when aligned with a polypeptide according to SEQ ID NO: 1, comprises at least one amino acid substitution resulting in Ser (S), Ala (A) or Leu (L) at position 246, Trp (W) at position 307, Leu (L) at position 345, Ile (I) at position 365, and/or Phe (F) at position 534, wherein the position is defined with reference to SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein Ala(A) at position 1 in SEQ ID NO: 1 is counted as number 1 and a method for preparing the polypeptide.

The present invention further relates to a process for preparing a food product wherein a polypeptide according to the present invention is used.

The present invention relates to an aroma milk composition and a method of producing it. Further, the present invention relates to use of the aroma milk composition in the manufacture of a dairy product. Finally, the present invention relates to a new bacterial strain of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis.

The present invention relates to a method for producing an aqueous protein-containing milk or cream fraction, said method comprising using an enzyme having phospholipase C activity.

Microbial starter cultures. More specifically, a method for preparing a microbial starter culture wherein the microorganism is inoculated in a culture medium comprising at least one 5 yield enhancing agent selected from the group consisting of a purine base, a pyrimidine base, a nucleoside and a nucleotide. Such microbial starter cultures are useful in the manufacturing of food, feed and pharmaceutical products.

A cooking fat product is provided for use as a substitute for butter and the cooking fat product comprises butterfat and palm oil as its main ingredients (by volume). The main ingredients comprise between 70% and 90% of the cooking fat product (by volume), but the palm oil does not exceed 50% of the cooking fat product (by volume) and the palm oil is a refined and deodorised fat with a melting point approximately equal to that of butter. The cooking fat product has an overall moisture content between 16% and 18% (by volume).

The present invention relates to a wild-type, non-engineered, microbial lipolytic enzyme with a higher specificity for short-chain fatty acids than for medium to long fatty acids, specially long fatty acids. This invention further relates to a process for preparing a food product, and to the use of the wild-type, non-engineered, microbial lipolytic enzyme.
