Abstract
A texturizing product for dairy products including yogurt and fresh cheese is prepared by adding a quantity of sweet whey proteins to a milk-based raw material to prepare a mixture having a casein:whey protein ratio of from 70:30 to 40:60 and by preparing the mixture so that it has a pH of from 6.1 to 6.7, and then the mixture is heated to obtain a casein and whey protein co-precipitate-containing mixture which then is subjected to shear to obtain the texturizing product. The texturizing product, such as in a dehydrated form, is combined with a milk for preparing a yogurt or fresh cheese.
