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

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 techniques and systems for producing microbials having anaplerotic oils that are rich in odd-chain fatty acids, and other beneficial components, at higher concentrations than those present in other natural dietary sources of OCFA, at lower cost, and higher production yield. Further, disclosed are examples of incorporation of these higher concentration OCFA products into food for human and non-human animal consumption.

The present invention relates generally to a lipid component that comprises a subset of milk lipids and that can confer on a composition an attribute conferred by a mammal-produced milk or milk fat. The present invention further provides methods for producing such lipid component. The present invention further relates to compositions that comprise such lipid component, and methods for producing the same.

A cream composition comprising lipid, optionally protein, one or more emulsifiers, and one or more thickeners or stabilisers, minerals and optionally lactose having acceptable properties after temperature cycling, including acceptable viscosity, and sensory properties.

The present disclosure discloses a milk powder containing maltopentaose trehalose instead of maltodextrin and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of processing of dairy products. In the present disclosure, a formula milk powder containing maltopentaose trehalose instead of maltodextrin includes the following raw materials in parts by mass: 85-90 parts of fresh milk, 1-2 parts of maltopentaose trehalose, 5-10 parts of vegetable oil, 1-2 parts of a desalted whey powder, 1.5-3 parts of a concentrated whey protein powder, 0.5-0.8 parts of lactose, 0.05-0.1 parts of a multivitamin, and 0.05-0.1 parts of a complex mineral. Differences in physical and chemical properties of products due to a nonuniform polymerization degree of maltodextrin are reduced, and the problem that a Maillard reaction is likely to be induced when the maltodextrin is mixed with an amino acid or protein is solved.

Disclosed herein is a nutritional composition having at least one protein, at least one fat, and at least one lipophilic compound, the composition comprising at least one assembly comprising at least one hydrophobic protein, monoglycerides and diglycerides (“MDG”) and at least one lipophilic compound, wherein at least 1% of the total MDG in the nutritional composition remains in the aqueous phase after centrifugation at 100,000×g for 1 hour at 20° C.

The invention discloses preparations for use in enhancing formation of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in a subject for treating or preventing a disease or disorder comprising at least one omega-3 fatty acid salt having an organic counter ion selected from lysine, arginine, ornithine, choline and mixtures of the same, wherein the omega-3 fatty acid is selected from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and a colon-specific delivery system.

A manufacturing method for a plant-based water-soluble dry powder, comprising the steps of; preparing a first mixture by mixing water with oats; comminuting solid components in the first mixture; heating the first mixture to a temperature range between 60° - 70° C.; adding α- and/or β-amylases and incubating for at least 40 min at 60° - 70° C.; filtering the first mixture; adding liquid fat or oil to the first mixture in a ratio of 65 wt. - % of the first mixture and 35 wt% liquid fat or oil; and spray drying the mixture of first mixture and fat or oil.

A refined oil comprising at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), wherein the oil has a fatty acid ester of monochloropropanediol, epoxypropanol, and mixtures thereof in an amount of 10 ppm or less, and processes for producing the oil. The oil is preferably a microbial or marine oil.
