A method of preparing a low calorie, Lactose-free and Phosphorus-reduced milk with multiple filtration, centrifugation, carbonation and phase separation steps to remove Lactose and Phosphorus from milk including skim milk. The method includes a filtration apparatus to employ ultrafiltration to remove Lactose and any component of Lactose. Ultra-Centrifugation is used additionally to increase and complete the removal of Lactose and to facilitate the reduction of Phosphorous in the final milk preparation. The process eliminates the conventional use of lactase enzyme to hydrolyze Lactose into its simple sugar components. |

It is intended to provide a milk drink obtained by starting with a milk protein-containing powder (skim milk powder, etc.) having a seriously worsened flavor which is free from worsening in the flavor after heating and sustains a flavor comparable to a product obtained by starting with fresh milk or fermented milk alone without using such a starting material as described above. An inert gas such as nitrogen gas is bubbled into a conditioned milk liquor containing a milk protein-containing powder (for example, whole milk powder or defatted milk powder) which is obtained by starting with fresh milk or milk so as to lower the dissolved oxygen concentration in the conditioned milk liquor to 8 ppm or below. Next, the conditioned milk liquor is subjected as such to heat sterilization. |

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a fermented milk, in which fermentation is accelerated without using a fermentation accelerator or the like and a novel fermented milk obtained by the production method having a hard texture that does not collapse during the distribution stage while having thickness and mildness which are not exhibited by conventional products. As a result of study, it was found that the fermentation efficiency can be improved by reducing the oxygen dissolved in a raw material mix of the fermented milk at the start of fermentation through replacement thereof with an inert gas, and that fermentation in that condition at usual temperature leads to a method for producing a fermented milk by which the fermentation time is shortened thereby to improve the productivity, and fermentation at a temperature lower than usual leads to a method for producing a fermented milk by which a novel fermented milk that has a thick and mild taste superior to that of a fermented milk with a mild taste produced through conventional low-temperature and long-term fermentation and also has a hard texture that does not collapse during the distribution stage is obtained in usual fermentation time, and leads to such a fermented milk produced by the method. Thus the invention has been completed. |

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing fermented milk by promoting fermentation without adding any fermentation-promoting substance, and to provide novel fermented milk with a thick and smooth mouth feel and a mild flavor which has not been obtained conventionally and additionally with a hard texture not degrading during distribution state, as obtained by the method. As a consequence of investigations, it is found out that fermentation efficiency can be promoted by reducing the dissolved oxygen in a mix of raw materials for fermented milk at the start of fermentation through substitution with inert gases. It is also found out that the method including fermentation at general temperature in the above condition can shorten fermentation time to improve productivity, and that the method including fermentation at a fermentation temperature lower than a usual method for general fermentation time can produce novel fermented milk with a thicker and smoother mouth feel and a milder flavor than the mild flavor of fermented milk obtained by conventional low-temperature fermentation for a long period and with a hard texture never degrading during distribution stage, which has not been obtained conventionally, in addition that the fermented milk is obtained by the above method. As a consequence, the invention has been achieved. |
