Dairy product having a total fats content lower than or equal to 400 g/kg and the fat globule distribution of which is such that globules of lower diameter than 2.0 &mgr;m represent 10% to 60%, preferably 20% to 40%, in weight of the total fats, and the fat globules of higher diameter than to 6 &mgr;m represent 10% to 30%, preferably 15% to 20%, in weight of the total fats useful for converting milk into cheese or yogurt, light creams or consumption milks.

Products, in particular, milk products, comprising selected fractions of fat globules, method for obtaining same and uses

The invention concerns a method for selectively separating, according to size, fat globules present in food or biological medium, which consists in subjecting the medium to be treated to at least tangential flow microfiltration with a cut-point threshold ranging between 1.8 and 10 &mgr;m in substantially uniform transmembrane differential pressure and in recuperating the resulting concentrate and permeate.
