Abstract:
Dairy bases, methods of making the dairy bases, and food products comprising the dairy bases are disclosed. The dairy bases comprise a heat-stable dairy protein component, a stabilizer component, an oil component, and a liquid component. The dairy bases comprise a stable emulsion at ambient temperature for at least 14 days after thermal processing. The dairy bases or food products comprising the dairy bases can be thermally processed, such as by retort processing, to produce shelf stable food products that comply with government and/or industry standards for commercial sterility without adversely affecting the color, texture, mouth feel, flavor, thermoplasticity, viscosity, and/or appearance of the dairy bases or food products comprising the dairy bases.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composition useful as a protein source for a milk replacer in animal feed. Specifically, the milk replacer is used for pre-ruminant and young ruminant calves, suckling piglets and suckling lambs. The composition consists of a combination of hydrolyzed soya proteins and hydrolyzed wheat gluten. Furthermore, a method is disclosed for obtaining the composition. A process for enhancing animal growth by feeding animals with a milk replacer containing the said composition is also disclosed.
Abstract:
Dairy permeate, the liquid component of milk or whey which remains after filtration recovery of proteins, is rich in vitamins and minerals. The permeate is collected, immediately processed to arrest the activity of cheese-making bacteria. One or more flavoring agents are added to whey permeate form an electrolyte beverage useful as a sports drink or as a therapeutic to replace electrolyte loss. The beverage is extremely low in milk protein, and may be used by individuals having mild to moderate milk protein allergy. Such individuals comprise the vast majority of the milk-allergic population. Hypoallergenic protein and optional fat is added to milk or whey permeate to form a substantially hypoallergenic milk product.
Abstract:
A milk substitute composition is prepared with whey solids or whey solids and added lactose by dissolving a whey solids powder in an aqueous medium containing calcium sequestering agent and carrageenate components at a temperature of approximately from 30.degree. C. to 65.degree. C. and then, in a second step, at the same temperature, a skimmed milk solids powder is dissolved in the whey-containing medium, and before and/or after dissolving the skimmed milk solids powder, the whey solids are allowed to soak in the aqueous liquid phase of the composition so prepared for from 10 minutes to 4 hours for hydrating the whey solids. When lactose is used, the amount of whey solids powder employed may be reduced by about half.
Abstract:
A whey protein hydrolysate is described which is free of allergenics while preserving the structures susceptible of exerting anticipatory regulations to maximize the tolerance and protein metabolism, and mixtures thereof with casein and/or soy protein hydrolysates. Whey protein hydrolysates according to the invention have an amino acid composition comprising at least 2% by weight of tryptophan, less than 5% by weight of threonine, less than 2.8% by weight of methionine whereby 40 to 60% by weight of the amino acids are in the form of tetra- to decapeptides.
Abstract:
A composition is provided which may be substituted for all or part of the milk solids used in the manufacture of food products. The composition includes whey solids, a proteinaceous material, a calcium source, a phosphate source, and a stabilizing agent. The stabilizing agent is selected from natural or artificial phosphorus containing lipid materials, anionic surface active agents other than fatty acids and the salts of fatty acids and mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
The soapy taste of whey protein is rectified by finely grinding spray-dried spheres thereof and then agglomerating the subdivided particles into an agglomerate having a dry porous structure.
Abstract:
Compositions of dry whey solids and alkali polyphosphates are provided which exhibit functional properties in food compositions as well as nutrient value. The polyphosphate is present in an amount of at least one percent based on protein and the polyphosphate desirably has a P2O5 content of 66 percent or greater. These compositions are preferably used as replacement, total or partial for sodium caseinate in nonbutterfat dairy products.
