The present invention relates to a two-step emulsification process for preparing a lipid and protein component-containing composition comprising large lipid globules, preferably coated with polar lipids, and to the compositions obtained thereby. Optionally, the lipid and protein component-containing composition is spray-dried. The obtained compositions are for feeding infants and young children.

Two-step emulsification process for preparing infant formula

The present invention concerns a process for manufacturing an infant formula product involving: (a) subjecting an aqueous mixture having a protein component and a carbohydrate component to a heat treatment step; (b) mixing the aqueous mixture with a lipid component; (c) subjecting the aqueous mixture having the lipid component, the carbohydrate component and the heat-treated protein component to a homogenization and emulsification step to obtain a homogenized oil-in-water emulsion having a total solids content in the range of 45-73 wt %; (d) conveying the homogenized emulsion into an extruder, independently adding digestible carbohydrates and optionally dietary fibres to the extruder and extruding the contents of the extruder to obtain an extruded material; (e) preparing an infant formula product from the extruded material. The invention further concerns an infant formula product obtainable by the process according to the invention and to a modular system suitable for performing the process according to the invention.

Extrusion

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a lipid and protein component-containing composition comprising large lipid globules, preferably coated with polar lipids, and to the compositions obtained thereby. Optionally, the lipid and protein component-containing composition is spray-dried. The obtained compositions are for feeding infants and young children.

Process for preparing infant formula using a static mixer

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a spray-dried lipid and protein component-containing composition using a rotary atomizer, which composition comprises large lipid globules, preferably coated with polar lipids, and to the compositions obtained thereby. The obtained compositions are preferably for feeding infants and young children.

Process for preparing infant formula

The invention pertains to a process for simultaneous producing an infant formula product and an acidic dairy product from defatted animal milk, comprising (a) processing the milk into a casein stream, a whey protein stream and a lactose stream, by: (i) subjecting the defatted animal milk to a filtration step over a microfiltration membrane capable of retaining bacteria and permeating milk proteins, to provide a debacterialized milk as permeate; (ii) subjecting the permeate originating from step (i) to a filtration step over a microfiltration membrane capable of retaining casein and permeating whey proteins, to provide a casein stream as retentate and a permeate comprising whey protein; (iii) fractionating the permeate originating from step (ii) into a whey protein stream and a lactose stream; (b) combining part of the casein stream, at least part of the whey protein stream originating from step (a) and a lactose source to obtain a recombined stream, wherein the lactose source comprises acid whey; (c) using the recombined stream originating from step (b) in the manufacture of the infant formula product; (d) using part of the casein stream originating from step (a) in the manufacture of the acidic dairy product. The invention further concerns the infant formula product obtainable by step (c) of the process according to the invention, and to the acidic dairy product obtainable by step (d) of the process according to the invention.

Process for producing infant formula products and acidic dairy products from milk

The invention pertains to a process for simultaneous producing an infant formula product and a dairy product from defatted animal milk, comprising (a) processing the milk into a casein stream, a whey protein stream and a lactose stream by a combination of microfiltration and ultrafiltration, wherein the casein stream originates from the microfiltration as retentate, the whey protein stream originates from the ultrafiltration as retentate and the lactose stream originates from the ultrafiltration as permeate; (b) combining at least part of the whey protein stream originating from step (a) and a lactose source to obtain are combined stream; (c) using the recombined stream originating from step (b) in the manufacture of the infant formula product; and (d) using at least part of the casein stream originating from step (a) and defatted animal milk in the manufacture of the dairy product. The invention further concerns the infant formula product obtainable by step (c) of the process according to the invention, and to the dairy product obtainable by step (d) of the process according to the invention.

Process for producing infant formula products and dairy products

The invention relates to a process for treating animal skim milk and sweet whey and/or acid whey, having: (a) ultrafiltration (UF1) of a first liquid composition including animal skim milk with 70-90 wt % casein and 10-30 wt % whey proteins, based on total protein, over a first ultrafiltration membrane having a molecular weight cut-off of 2.5-25 kDa using a volume concentration factor of 1.5-6 to obtain a retentate (UFR1) and a permeate (UFP1); (b) ultrafiltration (UF2) of a second liquid composition including sweet whey and/or acid whey over a second ultrafiltration membrane having a molecular weight cut-off of 2.5-25 kDa using a volume concentration factor of 2-15 to obtain a retentate (UFR2) and a permeate (UFP2); and (c) mixing the UF retentate originating from step (a) with the UF retentate originating from step (b) to obtain a mixture of UF retentates.

Process and system for preparing dry milk formula

A process and system is shown for obtaining a dry milk formula, having (a-i) ultrafiltration of an animal skim milk composition having 70-90 wt % casein and 10-30 wt % whey proteins, based on total protein, and (a-ii) ultrafiltration of an animal whey composition having 0-25 wt % casein and 75-100 wt % whey proteins, based on total protein; or (a-iii) ultrafiltration of a mixture of the compositions of (a-i) and (a-ii), (b) removing polyvalent ions from the UF permeate originating from step (a-i) and/or (a-ii) or (a-iii) to obtain at least one softened UF permeate; (c) combining the at least one softened UF permeate with a UF retentate to obtain a combined product; and (d) drying the combined product to obtain a dry milk formula.
