The invention concerns a process for the treatment of a sweet whey material containing cGMP (caseinoGlycoMacroPeptide), said process comprising the following steps: &#x2014;Decationising the sweet whey material so as to obtain sweet whey material having a pH value of 1 to 4.5; &#x2014;Treating said sweet whey in a fluidized bed reactor comprising a specific volume of an anionic resin, at a temperature between 10 and 18&#xb0; C., wherein said sweet whey contacts said resin for a sufficient amount of time so that the resin absorbs between 52% and 58% of the cGMP present in the sweet whey; and&#x2014;Recovering a protein material. Advantageously, the protein material is suitable for hypoallergenic infant formulae.

Process for treating sweet whey such as to obtain a protein material suitable for hypoallergenic infant formulae

Process for the treatment of a sweet whey material (SWM) containing cGMP (caseinoGlycoMacroPeptide), comprising the following steps: Decationising the SWM material so as to obtain a sweet whey SW having a pH value of 1 to 4.5; Treating said SW in a fluidized bed reactor comprising a volume of an anionic resin, at 10 to 18&#xb0; C., wherein said SW contacts said resin so that the resin absorbs between 0% and 100% of the cGMP present in the SW; and Recovering a protein material; Wherein the treating is such that the resin absorbs 30 to 45 g/L of the cGMP present in the sweet whey. Method for producing a protein material from a SWM cGMP, said protein material having a targeted tryptophan/threonine (Trp/Thr) ratio, comprising the following steps: &#x2014;Implementing the treating process twice, wherein the resins absorbs P1 of the cGMP, obtaining a first protein material having Trp/Thr1 and wherein the resins absorbs a percentage P2 of the cGMP, obtaining a second protein material having Trp/Thr2; &#x2014;Drafting the linear calibration curve in a graph (cGMP %; Trp/Thr) by positioning (Trp/Thr1; P1) and (Trp/Thr2; P2) and drawing a line through these two plots; &#x2014;Determining the specific ratio of cGMP present in the SW that the resin should absorb with respect to the targeted Trp/Thr by the calibration curve; and &#x2014;Implementing the process of the invention on the SWM wherein the resins absorbs the specific ratio of cGMP, so that to obtain the protein material having the targeted Tp/Thr.

The present application discloses a method for enhancing the stability of a human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) or a HMO precursor or a HMO blend when stored for extended periods at temperatures above 25&#xb0; C. by spray-drying an aqueous solution of the HMO or HMO precursor to remove at least 90% of the water and providing a HMO or a HMO precursor or a HMO blend with a specific glass transition temperature. Also disclosed is a method for removing organic solvent residues from a human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) or a HMO precursor or a HMO blend by spray drying. Also disclosed is a method of enhancing the bioavailability of a human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) or a HMO precursor or a HMO blend by spray drying.

The present invention relates to a solid product comprising an extrudable mixture of an oil in water emulsion and a solid matrix. The solid product may be used in foodstuff e.g. as a beverage additive or as an instant beverage products or. The present invention further provides an oil in water emulsion that is stable under the conditions required to prepare such a solid product. Furthermore, in contrast to traditional spray- and freeze-dried powder based foodstuff additives like creamers, the solid product of the present invention spontaneously disperses when added to a aqueous media, i.e. stirring is not required. Furthermore, it may generate a foam without any foaming agents.

Extruded solid product for use in foodstuffs

A cGMP containing aqueous composition exhibiting a reduced off-flavor even after extended storage, comprising a hydrophobic resin; and an agent, that chemically blocks functional groups in cGMP. Methods of preparing and using the product are also provided.

Stabilizing cGMP in aqueous formulation

A process is disclosed for extracting glycomacropeptide from a lactic raw material. This process includes the step of treating a lactic raw material containing glycomacropeptide in the presence of a weakly anionic resin wherein the glycomacropeptide is selectively adsorbed onto the resin and then eluted from the resin so as to obtain an improved protein product which can be used in foods, and pharmaceutical and dental compositions.
