Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for the production of liquid and powdered bifidogenic infant and dietetic foods which are reduced in their antigenicity. The process according to the invention is characterized in that to achieve bifidogenicity, sialic acid is enzymatically cleaved from the milk proteins using the enzyme neuraminidase (sialidase). Consequently in accordance to the invention it is possible to produce bifidogenic infant foods, particularly suitable for infants, premature and small for date babies, which can additionally be used in cases of intolerances against usual milk products. Furthermore the process can be used for production of dietetic food, particularly for patients suffering from intestinal allergies, other allergic diseases and patients with insufficiency of liver and kidney.
