The invention relates to a novel process for isolating milk proteins from milk or from whey; its subject is also a milk protein fraction obtained by this process and its use for the preparation of pharmaceutical or food compositions.

Milk protein isolate and process for its preparation

The invention concerns TGF-&#x3b2;-enriched milk protein fractions, a method for preparing same and use thereof for preparing a medicine and/or a food composition for preventing and/or treating chronic inflammatory diseases, and in particular psoriasis.

Milk protein fractions and use thereof for preventing or treating chronic inflammatory diseases

The invention concerns a method for isolating milk proteins from milk or from whey comprising steps which consist in passing the milk or whey over a cation-ex-changing resin, eluting the fraction retained by an aqueous salted solution and desalting and sterilizing the eluate. The invention also concerns a milk protein fraction obtained by said method and its use for preparing pharmaceutical and food compositions.

Milk protein isolate and method for preparing same

The invention concerns a method for preparing modified whey comprising steps which consists in: a) lactose removal, b) hydrolysis, c) pre-treatment of calcium trap proteins, d) hydrolysis of the pre-treated proteins and e) enzyme inactivation. The hydrolysis process is carried out in the presence of at least an endopeptidase and of at least an exopeptidase. The invention also concerns whey obtainable by said preparation method characterised in that it comprises a lactose content between 10 and 50 wt. % of the weight initially present and an amount of total proteins representing not more than 80 wt. % of the weight of proteins initially present. The invention further concerns the use of said modified whey as bread-making enhancing agent and products containing same.
