The present invention is in the field of dairy technology. It relates to methods of inhibiting Listeria in dairy products, characterized in that the fermentation is carried out using Lactobacillus rhamnosus DSM 32092 or a mutant thereof. The invention also provides use of Lactobacillus rhamnosus DSM 32092 to inhibit Listeria and dairy products comprising Lactobacillus rhamnosus DSM 32092 such as cheeses.

Edible thermal pressure molded and shaped composites made from the milk of ruminant animals. The composites have combinations of desirable material characteristics. Each composite can be characterized utilizing physical peak compression strength at associated temperature, with specific total moisture.

The present invention relates to the isolated strain of Lactobacillus plantarum VF46A deposited at the CNCM (Collection Nationale De Cultures de Microorganismes, INSTITUT PASTEUR, 25 rue du Docteur Roux, F-75724 PARIS CEDEX15) under the number CNCM 1-5301 on 29 Mar. 2018 as well as to a pharmaceutical composition, a food supplement and a food comprising said strain.

The present invention relates to a heat stable milk protein product. Particularly, the invention relates to a heat stable milk protein product which can be used as a meat substitute that can be heated by microwaves, fried or grilled. The present invention relates also processes for producing such heat stable milk protein products.

Microbial starter cultures. More specifically, a method for preparing a microbial culture such as a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) starter culture wherein at least one microbial strain such as a lactic acid bacteria and at least one inactivated yeast strain is inoculated in a culture medium.

A food composition and pharmaceutical composition with strains of lactic acid bacteria for modulating blood glucose are provided, comprising an isolated lactic acid bacteria strain. The isolated lactic acid bacteria strain is at least one selected from a group including a GL-104 strain of Lactobacillus reuteri (CCTCC NO: M209138), an AP-32 strain of Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salicinius (CCTCC NO: M2011127), a TYCA06 strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus (CGMCC No: 15210), and an MH-68 strain of Lactobacillus johnsonii (CCTCC NO: M2011128), or a combination thereof.

The present invention relates to a heat stable milk protein product. Particularly, the invention relates to a heat stable milk protein product which can be used as a meat substitute that can be heated by microwaves, fried or grilled. The present invention relates also processes for producing such heat stable milk protein products.

Disclosed is a method for improving the conversion properties and decreasing ripening time of cheese made from ultra-filtered milk and/or concentrated milk, the method comprising applying chymosin to cheese curds during the cheesemaking process.

Yogurt dessert piece products are of firm consistency, made on the base of fresh yogurt cheese, coated with chocolate or cocoa-flavored icing, with live bacterial flora, of rectangular design, the main component of which is fresh yogurt cheese with live bacterial flora, of firm consistency, obtained from milk or milk recombined from milk powder with water to a thicker consistency than milk, or milk concentrated by ultra-filtering or milk concentrated with milk powder; its curdling by a yogurt culture, occasionally its supplementary acidic treatment; the cutting of the curd, its solidification by heating, and the separation of the separated whey, and method for producing them.

The invention relates to the field of cheese making, in particular to the production of a soft cheese or a spreadable cheese. Provided is a method for preparing a spreadable cheese product, comprising the steps of (a) coagulating wholly or partly the protein of a milk product through the action of rennet or other suitable coagulating agents; (b) partially draining the whey resulting from the coagulation to obtain a cheese curd; (c) preparing a mixture of the cheese curd, water, an amylomaltose-treated starch (ATS) and a pregelatinized starch (PS); (d) heating and shearing the mixture at a temperature between 70 and 80° C.; followed by (e) cooling the mixture under stirring to obtain a spreadable cheese product. Also provided is a spreadable cheese obtainable by the method.
