A high temperature food treatment method is disclosed wherein by alternatingly operating between a first final heater (13) and second final heater (23) arranged in parallel on a food processing line (30, 40, 50), it is possible to operate a continuous process, yet significantly reducing the overall downtime of the processing line (30, 40, 50), by performing a cleaning in place process on the final heater (13, 23), not currently being used in the high temperature food treatment process, thereby eliminating or significantly reducing the influence on the processing line (30, 40, 50) downtime by the process elements and/or processing equipment most easily contaminated.

Systems and methods for generating a sterilized human milk product from raw human milk, and sterilized human milk product compositions obtained thereby, are provided. The method includes sterilizing the milk using a countercurrent heating process. The temperature of the milk is raised to a target temperature for a duration of time that is refined to provide a sterilized human milk product with low overall bioburden while also maintaining nutritional quality. As such, the sterilized milk product is suitable for ingestion by premature infants.

Systems and methods for generating a processed fortified human milk product from raw human milk, and processed fortified human milk product compositions obtained thereby, are provided. The processed fortified human milk product composition possesses high nutritional content such as high concentrations of protein and human milk oligosaccharides. The processed fortified human milk product composition exhibits low overall bioburden and is non-allogenic and non-immunogenic. When ingested by an individual, the processed fortified human milk product composition achieves high bioavailability and reduces inflammatory processes.

The subject invention aims to solve the problem of production of glucose accompanying the production of galactooligosaccharides after milk raw material is treated with lactase, by additionally adding transglucosidase to convert glucose to functional isomalto-oligosaccharide. The subject invention relates to a process for the production of a milk product enhanced with oligo-saccharides, characterized in that lactase and transglucosidase are used to treat milk raw materials. The subject invention further relates to the milk product of the process of the invention, whose oligo-saccharide content reaches a functional level. Human physiological effect assays confirm that the milk product increases intestinal probiotics, reduces harmful intestinal bacteria, improves the intestinal bacterial flora, reduces blood total cholesterol, reduces blood LDL cholesterol, increases blood HDL cholesterol, and improves the immunity, and may be used as low glycemic index (GI) dietary supplements.
