Provided is an electrostatic spray dried powdered milk product with a surface composition comprising at least 8% less fat compared to a spray dried powder of the same milk product. Further provided is a method of providing a powdered milk product comprising electrostatic spray drying a milk product at an inlet temperature of below 150° C. The electrostatic spray dried milk product powder has a surface composition with a reduced fat content and increased carbohydrate content relative to the same milk product powder prepared by high heat spray drying.

The invention relates to a method of making natural cheese with a flavor ferment to tune flavor attributes.

A portion capsule for producing a beverage. The portion capsule includes a capsule body that has a collar edge and a capsule bottom; a filter element located inside of the capsule body, the filter element is elastic, the filter element has a flange that is attached to the collar edge of the capsule body, the filter element has a bottom; and a cover attached to the capsule body. The bottom of the filter element is spaced apart from the capsule bottom such that a free space remains between the filter element and the capsule bottom. The filter element is spaced apart from the capsule bottom in such a manner that only before a liquid is applied to a beverage substrate, does the filter element not touch the capsule bottom.

The present invention is a system and method for performing freeze drying of small quantities of a liquid for personal use, wherein a liquid material is disposed within a single-use container, the container is then coupled to a small-scale freeze-drying unit which extracts liquid from the material in the container using a freeze-drying process, and the freeze-dried material is then left in the container and the container is stored until rehydration. The container may be a specialized single-use container that may be used to rehydrate the liquid and then fitted with a delivery device to feed an infant or child.

The present invention relates to a milk powder comprising caseins and whey proteins wherein the powder upon reconstitution in an aqueous medium comprises casein-whey protein/fat aggregates having a mean diameter value Dv50 of at least 1 mycrom as measured by laser diffraction. The invention also relates to a process for preparing a milk powder including the steps of providing a liquid milk concentrate at T<25° C., adjusting pH to 5.7-6.4, heating at 80-150° C. for 3-300 s, cooling to below 70° C. and optionally readjusting the pH to between 6.5-6.8, drying the composition, and the milk powder obtained by this process for producing growing up milks, culinary sauces, coffee mixes, tea and coffee creamer or cocoa-malt beverages.

The present disclosure relates to processes for producing antihypertensive peptide compositions from milk compositions. It also relates to peptide compositions producible by the processes, as well as dosage forms, food products, supplements, powdered milk formula and beverages containing the peptide compositions, and to therapeutic methods and uses of the peptide compositions.

The present application relates to improvements in machines for the preparation of beverage and food products, and in particular to such a machine which utilizes a compressed tablet of food or beverage product, which is inserted into the brew chamber of the machine, into which a liquid is directed to break up or dissolve the tablet. The machine for preparing a beverage or food product from a compressed disc of at least one ingredient includes a sealable brew chamber, and said brew chamber includes means for mounting the disc so that it is able to spin freely around a central axis. The brew chamber further includes an at least one nozzle having an outlet in the brew chamber located to direct a jet of liquid at a peripheral edge of the disc mounted in the brew chamber.

A hardly soluble beverage product, comprising: a container comprising a main body that contains a content and that has a container mouth as an outlet of the content, and a cap that is mounted on the container mouth to close the main body. An internal volume of the container is set to a total of: a volume corresponding to a volume of the powder material contained in the container; a volume corresponding to an amount of the liquid determined in accordance with an amount of the powder material to be mixed or dissolved with the liquid; and a volume as an extra space to cause turbulence of the powder material and the liquid.

The present invention is a system and method for performing freeze drying of small quantities of a liquid for personal use, wherein a liquid material is disposed within a single-use container, the container is then coupled to a small-scale freeze-drying unit which extracts liquid from the material in the container using a freeze-drying process, and the freeze-dried material is then left in the container and the container is stored until rehydration. The container may be a specialized single-use container that may be used to rehydrate the liquid and then fitted with a delivery device to feed an infant or child.

A portion capsule for producing a beverage. The portion capsule has a capsule body including a cavity. A filter is located inside of the cavity. The filter is configured to stretch and/or yield upon contact with an external perforation means. A lid is attached to the capsule body.
