A process and an apparatus for continuously and efficiently producing high protein foodstuff such as cheese curd, by continuously sprinkling and pouring a protein solution such as cow's milk or soybean milk from above onto the water surface of a warm water bath through a nozzle having multiple holes. A constant amount of warm water kept at a fixed temperature is supplied to the water bath. This process converts the protein solution into curd useful in producing various types of cheese.

Continuous process for producing high protein foodstuff and an apparatus

A desalted milk whose pH and ash content have been both adjusted to desired values can be obtained by subjecting a raw milk, including whole milk, whey, permeate, mother liquor, skim milk or buttermilk, to electrodialysis and cation exchange process, adding a milk of a specific pH value to the resultant milk, and then subjecting the thus-obtained milk to anion exchange process.

Desalting process of milk

An apparatus for continuously manufacturing fibrous high protein foods comprises an apparatus for supplying a fixed quantity of fibrous structure formable food raw material from a nozzle, said food material being obtained through the steps of curdling cow's milk such as whole milk or skim milk by the addition of a coagulating agent and removing whey from the resulting curds, an apparatus for extending the raw material supplied from the supplying apparatus by applying a fixed tension thereto while delivering the raw material by the aid of free rollers and drive rollers, an apparatus for cooling the extended raw material supplied from the extension apparatus; and an apparatus for cutting the raw material supplied from the cooling apparatus in fixed lengths.

Apparatus for continuously manufacturing fibrous high protein foods

Cow's milk and/or its analogues are demineralized and the ash balance thereof adjusted with ion-exchange membrane electrodialysis apparatus. The method comprises demineralizing cow's milk or its analogues in a first stage consisting of one or more of electrodialysis stacks at a demineralization rate of below 50 percent, then further demineralizing thus obtained milk in a second stage consisting of one or more of electrodialysis stacks at a demineralization rate of more than 60%, transferring thus demineralized milk to concentration compartments consisting of one or more of electrodialysis stacks of the first stage, then discharging the milk which was adjusted.
