The present invention provides various whey protein compositions as nutritional formulations suitable for use as ready-to-use liquid compositions that are shelf-stable and contains high level of intact whey protein content. The present invention further provides the methods of making such compositions.

Whey protein compositions and methods

The present invention relates to a method of continuously determining the shear viscosity (&#x3b7;) of a product paste to be delivered to a spray nozzle for spray-drying applications wherein the continuous determination of the shear viscosity (&#x3b7;) of the product paste is carried out in a bypass to the product paste stream to the spray nozzle.

Method of continuously measuring the shear viscosity of a product paste

The invention provides for an spray nozzle apparatus () for a spray drying apparatus comprising a nozzle provided with at least one nozzle orifice () for outputting spray droplets of a product to be dried and a least one inlet orifice () for transferring said product into a nozzle chamber (), including an apparatus for adjusting the size of outputted droplets inline during the spray drying process.

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.
