The present invention relates to a process for producing a demineralized milk that enables excellent reduction in the amount of monovalent minerals while suppressing any reduction in the amount of divalent minerals, as well as a demineralized milk produced using the above process, a process for producing a cheese and whey from the demineralized milk, and a cheese and whey produced using the above process. In the present invention, a demineralized milk having a significantly reduced amount of monovalent minerals is obtained by passing a raw milk solution through an anion exchange resin in chloride form, and then removing the monovalent minerals contained within the raw milk solution using a membrane separation process. Further, a cheese and whey can be produced by heating the obtained demineralized milk to produce a curd, and then separating the curd from the liquid other than the curd by solid-liquid separation. |

The present invention involves the discovery that various liquid (whey) streams drained or expelled from cheese curd after salt addition in the preparation of cheese contain enriched levels of bioactive proteins such as lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, immunoglobulins, and growth factors. According to the invention, these proteins may be further enriched through manipulation of the cheese salting process as described herein. The methods of the invention may be used to produce various whey products with enriched levels of all the above bioactive proteins present and, through manipulation of salting conditions, to enrich these proteins selectively. |

A regimen for calcium supplementation takes advantage of the discovery that a calcium supplement containing modified whey characterized by a calcium content of at least 3%, protein content of from 10 to 20%, and a phospholipid content of at least 2%, is of high biological value. It can be accomplished with calcium-supplemented foods that administer foods containing sufficient amounts of the modified whey to provide at least 5% of the amount of calcium required for complete nutrition on a daily basis. The regimen can benefit humans and domestic pets, in particular. More preferred levels of administration will provide at least 10% and in some cases at least 25% of the RDA for calcium for the subject. |

A process for extracting milk minerals from a whey product such as whey permeate or delactosed whey permeate is disclosed. The pH of the whey product is adjusted to a pH in the range of about 7.0 to 7.6. A phosphate compound is added to the whey product in an amount such that the weight percent of phosphate added to the whey product based on dry matter solids of the whey product is in the range of about 0.015-0.05%, and preferably in the range of about 0.025-0.03%. Suitable phosphates include pyrophosphate or tetrasodium pyrophosphate (TSPP). After the phosphate is added, the whey product/phosphate mixture is heated to a temperature in the range of about 145.degree.-175.degree. F. The whey product/phosphate mixture is maintained at a temperature in the range of about 145.degree.-165.degree. F. for a period of time sufficient to flocculate mineral solids from the whey product/phosphate mixture. The flocculated mineral solids are then separated from liquids in the whey product/phosphate mixture, and the separated flocculated mineral solids are dried. Prior to drying, the flocculated mineral solids may be purified. |

Acidulated decationized milk containing the same content of proteins and lactose as ordinary milk and having a pH below or equal to 3.8 is prepared by placing milk in contact with a cation-exchanging resin in acid form, said milk having a temperature varying between 0.degree. and 4.degree. C., for the time period necessary to lower the pH of the said milk to a value below or equal to 3.8, and separating the decationized milk from the exchanging resin. The decationized milk is used to prepare acidified milks, milk casein, milk acid curds and lactoserum. |
