The present disclosure provides compositions, methods, and uses concerning the enzymatic preparation of a fermented milk product.

The invention provides natural cheese and a method for making natural cheese with specific texture attributes.

The invention relates to a low lactose milk product where the milk protein is hydrolyzed by a protease without negatively affecting the organoleptic properties and appearance of the milk product. The invention also relates to a process for preparing a protein hydrolyzed milk product with a low lactose content.

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a composition including free amino acids, oligopeptides and polypeptides, characterized in that the process comprises at least the following step: adding at least two different peptidases, which are present in purified form, to a composition comprising at least one protein.

The present invention is in the field of dairy technology. It relates to methods for producing fermented milk products, characterized in that at least one phospholipase is used to treat the milk base in the fermentation process. The invention also provides a fermented milk product produced therefrom and a kit containing a starter culture and a phospholipase.

The present invention relates to a frozen enzyme formulation comprising an enzyme. According to another aspect the present invention relates to a starter culture comprising a frozen enzyme formulation and frozen lactic acid bacteria pellets, wherein the frozen enzyme formulation pellets and the frozen lactic acid bacteria pellets are separate pellets or wherein the enzyme and the lactic acid bacteria are in the same pellets. According to yet another aspect the present invention relates to a method for the production of a frozen enzyme formulation. According to another aspect, the present invention relates to the use of the frozen enzyme formulation.

Methods of making a powdered dairy composition are disclosed. The methods may include the steps of adding a sequestrant for calcium and rennet to a milk composition to make treated milk, and forming the treated milk into a milk powder. Powdered non-fat dry milk products are also disclosed. The products may include one or more milk proteins that have been enzymatically altered by chymosin, where the chymosin altered proteins are not coagulated. The products may also include one or more sequestants to bind calcium ions in the powdered product.

The present invention relates to a method for promoting natural tastes and flavors in milk-based products, to a method for manufacturing such milk products and to the products thus made or obtainable by the method.

The present invention relates to a frozen enzyme formulation comprising an enzyme. According to another aspect the present invention relates to a starter culture comprising a frozen enzyme formulation and frozen lactic acid bacteria pellets, wherein the frozen enzyme formulation pellets and the frozen lactic acid bacteria pellets are separate pellets or wherein the enzyme and the lactic acid bacteria are in the same pellets. According to yet another aspect the present invention relates to a method for the production of a frozen enzyme formulation. According to another aspect, the present invention relates to the use of the frozen enzyme formulation.

This invention provides a liquid nutritional composition comprising fresh whole milk and chymosin and optionally additional ingredients selected from lactase, lipases or esterases, prebiotics, and probiotics or a combination thereof. In an embodiment, a free-flowing dry powder composition of chymosin and optionally additional ingredients selected from lactase, lipases or esterases, prebiotics, and probiotics or a combination thereof is provided, that can be suspended in fresh milk. The inventive composition may allow fresh milk, which many adults have difficulty digesting, to be digested properly without ill effects and be a useful source of protein and saturated fats which are important macronutrients. The inventive compositions may be used by children over the age of 5 years, and for adults.
