Abstract
Soluble sugar can be added to a milk protein dispersion with reduced lactose to slow viscosity buildup and gelation. Preferably, greater than about 3 percent by weight soluble sugar is added to the milk protein dispersion. The resulting milk protein dispersion generally has greater than about 6 percent by weight protein, less than about 20 percent by weight lactose and greater than about 3 percent by weight soluble sugar. Preferred milk protein dispersions are low fat. The milk protein dispersions are suitable for storage for at least several days without viscosity build-ups that inhibit processing.
