The present invention relates to a novel cheese-containing heat-stable composition which can be fried. The composition can be produced using different cheese types and flavours. In addition to cheese, the use of maize and/or maize meal is essential in implementation of the invention. By varying the components, as required, products for different flavour directions, for example reduced-fat or else sweet or piquant etc., can be produced. The fried finished product can have the shape of chips and can also be used as a chip substitute. In the production, the components and the flavouring ingredients are melted in a suitable melting machine with intense stirring and brought into the desired shape. After cooling, a solid composition is formed which can then be fried and is heat stable. |

The present invention is concerned with the incorporation of whey proteins into foodstuffs by acidifying an aqueous solution of one or more whey proteins below their isoelectric pH, optionally forming a whey protein-stabilized fatty emulsion by blending and homogenizing said acidified solution of whey proteins with one or more fats, heat-treating said acidified solution or whey protein-stabilized fatty emulsion and blending same with a foodstuff base to form a foodstuff, and optionally blending and incubating the food stuff with transglutaminase. |

The present invention relates to a method for directly using acid cheese whey and/or its by-products from conventional cheese production to make additional food products. More particularly, the present method provides an economical way to profitably utilize a traditional waste or by-product in the manufacture of cream cheese or other high-value added products without re-culturing, without combining with cheese curd, without neutralizing, and without the disposal or recycling costs common in the industry. |

The utility of soybeans having a composition of greater than 40% of the protein as beta-conglycinin and less than 10% of the protein as glycinin for making highly functional high beta-conglycinin compositions was discovered. The discovered ingredients are useful for mimicking the texturizing properties of casein while also maintaining or improving physiological benefits of soy protein ingredients (e.g., cholesterol and triglyceride lowering properties). The high stability of the high beta-conglycinin compositions against protein-protein aggregation reactions is valuable for creating good tasting beverages and beverage mixes. Cheese with good spreadability, gloss and smoothness was made using an enzyme-modified version of the new ingredient composition. Cheese with good firmness and meltability was also create using a different enzyme-treatment. High beta-conglycinin compositions were found to demonstrate excellent emulsifying and gelling properties in the pH region (5.5-6.2) relevant to meat applications. High beta-conglycinin compositions also have possible use for improving the composition of essential amino acids for infant human and animals. |

Process for manufacturing cheeses and other dairy products, and the resulting products, in which lactobionic acid is added, or generated in situ, in combination with a dairy component in the course of the process. The lactobionic acid can be used as the sole acidulent for direct acidification of the cheese, or in conjunction with reduced amounts of lactic acid culture. When the lactobionic acid is generated in situ during cheese manufacture according to the invention, a lactose oxidase is used in one embodiment to convert lactose intrinsically present in the dairy liquid ingredient(s) into lactobionic acid. The organoleptic attributes of the cheeses made using lactobionic acid as an ingredient are satisfactory and fully suitable. The process can be applied to the production of a wide variety of cheeses, including, for example, cream cheeses, hard cheeses such as cheddar, UF cheeses, process cheeses, cheddar cheeses, and so forth. |

A savory, smooth-textured, bakeable and shelf-stable product is prepared as a three-phase formulation, including an aqueous liquid phase, a dispersed fat phase and a solids phase, preferably containing cheese in significant proportion. The liquid phase is present in sufficient quantity to suspend and disperse the fat and solids phases. The dispersed fat must have sufficiently small droplet size raise the viscosity for this phase sufficiently to result in a creamy texture for the final product. The savory flavor ingredients are present as undissolved solids of sufficiently small particle size to provide the proper flavor release for the flavor and a texture consistent with the savory flavor. Preferred cheese products will have a lubricous, slippery, smooth mouthfeel and a flavor release that endures until the palate is essentially clean. The product can be applied to unbaked doughs prior to baking and retain their desired properties after baking. The product can also be packaged for use as is with any number of complimentary foods. |

The present invention provides a method for preparing cheese products, and process cheese bases for use in the production of process cheese. The method generally includes mixing one or more concentrated powders derived from milk with sodium chloride, milk fat, water, and, optionally, an edible acid and/or a preservative for a period of time sufficient to produce a well-mixed, homogeneous product, and cooling the resulting mixture for a time and at a temperature which is sufficient to allow the mixture to form a solid matrix. The solid matrix can be consumed, or can be used as a substitute for natural cheese and ground by a cheese grinding system during the production of process cheese. The present invention also provides cheese products and process cheese bases prepared according to this method, and to process cheeses produced with the process cheese bases. |
