The present invention relates to a method for determining and quantifying β-casein derived proteose peptones and/or β-casein, said method comprising the steps of (i) providing a dairy-based product to be analysed; (ii) subjecting said product using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis; (iii) determining and/or quantifying said β-casein derived proteose peptones and/or β-casein in said product by detecting compounds of defined m/z values or deconvoluting the mass spectrometry spectra to calculate monoisotopic masses. The present invention also relates to nutritional compositions having a reduced content of β-casein derived proteose peptones and the uses hereof for e.g. treating, preventing and/or ameliorating abdominal pain in an infant.

Methods and systems for making a high-purity α-lactalbumin composition are described. The composition may be made by providing a whey protein mixture, and adding an alkaline solution to the mixture to make the mixture alkaline and promote the aggregation of ß-lactoglobulin proteins. The alkaline whey protein mixture is filtered into a ß-LG aggregate composition and a α-LA enriched composition. A final α-lactalbumin enriched composition sourced from the α-LA enriched composition is dried into the high-purity α-lactalbumin composition (a powdered dairy composition) that is at least 70 wt. % α-lactalbumin on a protein basis. A protease enzyme may optionally be added to the α-LA enriched composition to form an enzymatically treated α-LA enriched composition that becomes the source of the final α-lactalbumin enriched composition.

A method for producing an ingredient comprising a combination of at least three milk proteins, the method comprising: mixing at least a primary liquid composition, comprising micellar caseins A1, milk serum proteins B1 and denatured milk serum proteins C1, milk serum proteins B1 being different from denatured milk serum proteins C1, said micellar caseins A1, milk serum proteins B1 and denatured milk serum proteins C1 being mixed in liquid form to obtain a mixture; applying at least 50 bars to the mixture; and obtaining the ingredient, wherein: a ratio of the dry mass of micellar caseins A1 to the mass of the total nitrogenous matter (TNM) of the ingredient is greater than or equal to 50%; a ratio of the dry mass of milk serum protein B1 relative to the mass of the solids of the mixture is greater than or equal to 5% and less than or equal to 35%; a ratio of the dry mass of denatured milk serum protein C1 to the mass of the solids of the mixture is greater than or equal to 5% and less than or equal to 45%; a ratio of the dry fat mass to the total dry mass in the ingredient is comprised between 0.2% and 6%. The ingredient. A method of production of a dairy product. The dairy product.

The present invention relates to new whey protein hydrolysates having a high degree of hydrolysis, are palatable and have a low turbidity without being subjected to ultrafiltration. The invention furthermore relates to methods of preparing the new whey protein hydrolysates, uses of the new whey protein hydrolysates and food products comprising these new whey protein hydrolysates

The present invention pertains to a new packaged, heat-treated beverage preparation having a pH in the range of 2.0-4.7. The invention furthermore relates to a method of producing a packaged, heat-treated beverage preparation and to different uses of the packaged heat-treated beverage preparation.

The present invention pertains to novel beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) isolates as well as to a method of producing such isolates and to uses of the powders, e.g. in beverage applications.

Disclosed herein is a process for isolating phospholipids from milk by-products, such as acid whey, the process comprising: a) exposing milk by-products to filtration, thereby enriching for phospholipids; and b) solubilizing and removing whey proteins and caseins; thereby isolating phospholipids from the milk by-product. Also disclosed are products produced by this method.

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.

Described herein are stable protein solutions that have a pH of from about 3.5 to about 7.0 and are stable against precipitation of the protein, as well as methods of making such stable protein solutions, and beverages and beverages additives for human or animal consumption comprising such stable protein solutions. These stable protein solutions comprise a protein, a stabilizer, and a protein deamidating enzyme.

A combination of hemp protein, or whey protein, or whey isolate protein, or pea protein, and mushrooms to increase the health and wellbeing of a person ingesting the combination.
