The present invention is directed to a foam comprising rapeseed protein isolate, a second protein selected from the group consisting of whey protein, casein or milk and water and a process for making the foam. Also disclosed are the use of the foam in food products and food products comprising the foam.

An aqueous modified acid composition for industrial activities, said composition comprising: an alkanolamine and strong acid in a molar ratio of not less than 1:15, preferably not less than 1:10; it can also further comprise a metal iodide or iodate. Said composition demonstrates advantages over known conventional acids and modified acids.

The invention relates to a method of producing a food or beverage product, comprising the steps of: providing an ingredient composition comprising micellar caseins, whey protein and plant protein having a pH of 5.9-7.1, preferably 6.2-6.8, and having a concentration of 1 to 15 wt. % of total proteins, and wherein the composition has a micellar casein to whey protein ratio of, 90/10 to 60/40 and a micellar caseins and whey protein to plant protein ratio of 80/20 to 20/80, adding divalent cations to provide a concentration of 2.0-10 mM free divalent cations in the ingredient composition and subsequently heat treating the ingredient composition to form agglomerated proteins comprising micellar casein, whey protein and plant proteins, the agglomerates having a size of 5 to 50 microns as measured by D(4,3) mean diameter as measured by laser diffraction. The invention also relates to a product obtained by this method.

Claimed is the preparation of an infant formula base product, comprising: (a) microfiltration (ME) of animal skim milk over a membrane having a porosity of 0.10-0.35 micrometer and operating with a volume concentration factor of 1.5-8, resulting in a retentate (MFR) and a permeate (MFP); (b) ultrafiltration (UF) of the MEP originating from step (a) over a membrane having a molecular weight cut-off of at most 25 kDa and operating with a volume concentration factor of 1.5-8, resulting in a retentate (UFR) and a permeate fUEP); (c) combining the MFR from step (a) and the UFR from step (b), to obtain a defined casein/whey ratio. Alternatively, the product of step (a) is used as a protein source. Claimed is also a composition comprising 40-50 g casein, 30-40 g lactose and 5-16 g ash per 100 g dry weight.
