Iron-casein complex hydrolyzate and process for the production thereof

Processed oats having a remarkably decreased viscosity when dispersed in hot water or boiling water, a method of preparing the same, and a food and beverage containing the same are disclosed. The processed oats may be prepared by contacting pressed oats with water or an aqueous protein solution and then drying the oats. The contacting of oats with the aqueous protein solution may be carried out before the pressing of the oats.

Processed oats and a method of preparing the same

A lactulose syrup suitable for use in the production of foods and drugs is produced by the alkali isomerization of lactose. Elimination of monosaccharides formed in the reaction mixture, such as galactose, is conducted by passing the reaction mixture through a column packed with beads of a strongly-acidic chromatographic cation-exchange resin, said beads having substantially the same crosslinking degree, and then collecting lactulose-containing eluate fractions. This process is suitable for the industrial production of a high-purity lactulose syrup.
