Abstract:
The present invention relates to milk powder compositions comprising lactase and to processes for the manufacture of said milk powder compositions. The processes have been found to stabilise lactase in said milk powder compositions. It further relates to the use of said milk powder compositions in alleviating the symptoms of gastro-intestinal intolerance in mammals.
Abstract:
A mixture of solids and a liquid such as a food product is sprayed into a chamber concurrently with a stream of hot gas to evaporate the liquid from the solids. Lecithin or other non-oxidative substance is sprayed into the chamber concurrently with the heated gas and mixture so the droplets of the substance can be put in contact with droplets of the mixture and the solid particles derived from the mixture. Thus, the solid particles are coated with the substance.
Abstract:
CONVERTING ACID WHEY TO A USEFUL PRODUCT BY HEAT DENATURING UNNEUTRALIZED ACID WHEY, SEPARATELY HEAT DENATURING THE SCRUM PROTEINS OF A LIQUID MILK PRODUCT CONTAINING SWEET SKIM MILK AND SEPARATELY ATOMIZING THE WHEY AND THE MILK PRODUCT SIMULTANEOUSLY THROUGH SEPERATE NOZZLES IN A SINGLE DRYER. THE ACID WHEY SOLIDS DO NOT SUBSTANTIALLY EXCEED ABOUT 43% BY WEIGHT OF THE COMBINED ACID WHEY AND SKIM MILK SOLIDS. THE PROCESS IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE AVOIDANCE OF NEUTRALIZING THE ACID WHEY PRIOR TO TREATMENT THUS MAKING THE DRIED PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.

Abstract:
Provided are a novel vacuum-pressure spray-drying method and a novel vacuum-pressure spray-drying apparatus suitable for drying and powdering a liquid raw material containing a substance susceptible to heat denaturation, such as a food raw material and a medicine raw material. The vacuum-pressure spray-drying method and the like include: an apparatus main body, which is kept at reduced pressure and includes a spray nozzle; superheated water vapor supplying means for supplying a superheated water vapor to the spray nozzle; liquid raw material supplying means for supplying a liquid raw material to the spray nozzle; cooling means for cooling the superheated water vapor and a vapor resulting from volatilization of the liquid raw material being discharged from the apparatus main body, and then collecting, as condensed water; pressure reducing means for keeping an inside of the apparatus main body at the reduced pressure through the cooling means; and product collecting means for collecting a powder product produced in the apparatus main body. The vacuum-pressure spray-drying method and the like include: simultaneously spraying the superheated water vapor supplied from the superheated water vapor supplying means and the liquid raw material supplied from the liquid raw material supplying means through the spray nozzle into the apparatus main body so as to atomize the liquid raw material in the apparatus main body; and subjecting an atomized raw material, which is produced by atomizing the liquid raw material, to heat exchange with the superheated water vapor, to thereby dry and powder the liquid raw material.
Abstract:
An improved process for spray drying is provided for the acid type of cheese whey or casein whey, partially delactosed acid whey or a permeate obtained by ultrafiltration of acid cheese milk/or acid whey accomplished by injecting a dry neutralizing edible calcium or magnesium salt during the spray drying.
