The present invention provides stable amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) compositions, and food articles comprising said compositions.

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

Disclosed is a process in which a viscous initial product having both a temperature of between 5° C. and 70° C. and a viscosity greater than 100 mPa.Math.s is provided, —by way of a pump provided upstream of at least one aerator, the viscous initial product is transferred as it is to the at least one aerator in which the viscous initial product is mixed with a gas, injected into the aerator, so as to obtain a liquid foam continuously exiting the aerator, and—the liquid foam continuously exiting the at least one aerator is continuously pushed into the inlet of a treatment device which continuously divides and then dries this liquid foam so as to obtain a powdered porous product which has a solids content greater than 90%.

The invention relates to a process for preparing an isolated oleosome composition with improved taste and the process is comprising the steps of subjecting an oleosome source to a roasting step and obtaining a roasted oleosome source, and subsequently isolating oleosomes from the roasted oleosome source, and obtaining the isolated oleosome composition. The invention also relates to an isolated oleosome composition obtainable by the process. The invention further relates to food and feed products, pharmaceutical products, personal care products, nutritional compositions and industrial products comprising the isolated oleosome composition. Finally, the invention relates to the use of a roasted oleosome source to improve taste and/or flavor of an isolated oleosome composition.

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.

This disclosure features human milk permeates and compositions containing the same obtained from fractionated whole human milk. The oligosaccharide rich permeate and permeate compositions of the present invention are useful as nutritional supplements for pre-term and full term infants, for establishing or maintaining gut flora and for treating the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease.

Methods of preventing creaming and age gelation in heat treated dairy based products are provided herein. Heat treated dairy based products are also provided, in which physical instability is prevented.

The invention relates to a system for aerating a liquid food product, wherein the system includes a bubble generator (5) for generating bubbles in a liquid food product flow. The bubble generator (5) includes a wall (23) having gas transmissive pores, which wall separates an air supply space (24) from the liquid food product flow, wherein an air supply (4) is provided for supplying air to the air supply space (24). The air supply (4) includes an air drying device (7) for drying air, preferably dehumidifying air, to be supplied to the air supply space (24) and/or a container (8) containing pre-dried air, said container (8) being arranged for supplying dried air to the air supply space.

The invention relates to a method for producing a milk food made as a substitute for breast milk, in the form of a ready-to-use, long-life liquid. The invention also relates to the facility for implementing said method and to the milk food made as a substitute for breast milk produced by said method.
