The invention is concerned with a batch method for obtaining crystallized lactose and arrangement configured for executing the method. The method comprises obtaining initially, from a lactose crystallization process, mother liquor and wash water generated in that process. The obtained mother liquor and wash water are collected and not discarded. Thereafter, the collected mother liquor and wash water are subjected to purification and concentration in a batch process contrary to the known continuous processes, performed independently of the lactose crystallization process. Aqueous solutions comprising lactose obtained as a result of the independent purification and concentration process accordingly, comprise reduced amounts of the impurities usually comprised in the by-products of the lactose crystallization process. The aqueous solution comprising lactose can then be collected and re-used as a lactose source in a lactose crystallization process, either on the same process equipment which supplied the original batch or on separate equipment. The method of the invention minimizes loss of lactose in one or more waste streams. |

Methods are described for treating a whey protein mixture to increase a relative concentration of α-lactalbumin protein in the mixture. The methods may include the step of adjusting a temperature of the whey protein mixture to about 10° C. or less, and adjusting the pH of the mixture to greater than 7. The may further include adding a protease enzyme to the whey protein mixture that selectively hydrolyzes β-lactoglobulin protein in the mixture. The activity of the protease enzyme in the hydrolyzed whey protein mixture may be terminated before a substantial portion of the α-lactalbumin protein has been hydrolyzed by the enzyme. In some instances, the whey protein mixture may also include glycomacropeptides that are selectively hydrolyzed with the β-lactoglobulin protein. The β-lactoglobulin and glycomacropeptide hydrolysates may be separated to produce an enhanced α-lactalbumin protein composition for infant formula, among other products. |

A dairy-based yogurt product having a protein level above 15%, sometimes more than 25%, with a smooth and rich texture and no grittiness. The yogurt product includes a particular selection of dairy proteins and other ingredients to raise the gelation temperature of the dairy proteins and avoid causing gelation or precipitation during pasteurization. Additionally, pasteurization temperatures, times and methods are selected to avoid gelation. Starting dairy proteins generally have relatively higher pH levels and low total acidity (TA) levels to help reduce gelation during pasteurization. Ingredients such as buffering agents and sequestering agents may be utilized to help raise the gelation temperature, as well as higher sugar levels which can control hydration of the proteins. |

Shown is a method of selectively separating milk fat globule membrane fragments and milk fat globules from whey. The method includes the steps of adding to whey an amount of a whey-soluble zinc salt and adjusting the pH of the whey to be less than 6.0. The amount of zinc salt added to the whey is sufficient to cause milk fat globule membrane fragments and milk fat globules contained in the whey to precipitate selectively from the whey. |
