The invention concerns a sweetened dairy product comprising a dairy material, at least one steviol glycoside, and a lactase enzyme.

The invention concerns the use of formate for increasing the thickness of a fermented milk-based composition, wherein the fermented milk-based composition is fermented by S. thermophilus. Furthermore the use of formate in a starter culture for increasing the thickness of a fermented milk-based composition is concerned, wherein the fermented milk-based composition is fermented by S. thermophilus

The present invention relates to a lactic acid bacterial fermentation promoter, containing at least one organic acid selected from malic acid and fumaric acid.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a saccharide polycondensate which is inexpensive and is applicable to a food or beverage product. Disclosed is a method for producing a saccharide polycondensate, which comprises carrying out a saccharide polycondensation reaction in the presence of activated carbon.

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.

A method of providing improved mouthfeel in consumables having a fat content of about 20% or less is provided. The method includes the step of adding to a consumable composition base from about 0.02 parts per billion to about 25 parts per million based on the total weight of the consumable composition of an Amadori compound, without any subsequent heating. The Amadori compound is a reaction product of glucose with proline.

A process for the preparation of a liquid or semi-liquid bioactive dairy composition containing 20-90% retained bioactive IgG, for use as an ingredient in a ready-to-eat (RTE) or ready-to-drink (RTD) food product, includes the steps of a) combining a bioactive powder containing a colostrum powder and/or milk powder containing whey proteins, and immunoglobulin G (IgG), wherein the ratio of whey protein: IgG in the bioactive powder is between 1.74:1 and 3.05:1; water and a food grade acid to form a bioactive dairy composition with a pH of 2.5-4.0, and b) heat treating the bioactive dairy composition to between 67-145° C. at ambient pressure.

Disclosed are methods for preparing dairy compositions using a final nanofiltration step. Generally, the methods also include an ultrafiltration step and a reverse osmosis step, and optionally, a diafiltration step.

Disclosed is a method of preparing a fermented milk. The method comprises: step 1, extruding whey protein at low temperature, mixing the extruded whey protein with inulin to prepare extruded whey protein isolate (WPI)-inulin composition; step 2, adding sucrose and the extruded WPI-inulin composition into the raw milk, and uniformly mixing and stirring the sucrose, the extruded WPI-inulin composition, and the raw milk to obtain a material A; step 3, preheating, homogenizing, sterilizing and cooling the material A to obtain a fermentation substrate; step 4, adding a fermentation agent into the fermentation substrate, filling the fermentation substrate in a container, and then performing heat-preserved fermentation, and ending the fermentation to obtain a material B; step 5, cooling the material B, and then refrigerating the material B to obtain fermented milk.

Fermented milk, containing 0.8 g or more of dephosphorylated casein per 100 g of the fermented milk. Dephosphorylated milk, containing dephosphorylated casein. A method for manufacturing fermented milk, including: (a) fermenting raw material milk in a presence of a protein phosphatase and (b) fermenting raw material milk enzyme-treated with the protein phosphatase.
