Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for the production of a dairy composition from a starting material containing lactose. The present invention also relates to the compositions produced by the process of the invention as well as the foods and drinks containing the compositions.
Claims12
A process for producing a diabetic-friendly dairy product having a low glycemic value comprising the steps of:
- preparing a composition comprising a lactose source, the composition having a protein content of 4.5% and a lactose content of 1.5%;
- treating the lactose source with lactase in a hydrolysis step to form a dairy composition containing glucose and galactose that are derived from hydrolysis of lactose;
- treating the dairy composition with glucose isomerase in an isomerization step to convert glucose into fructose, and wherein calcium ions are not removed from the dairy composition prior to the isomerization step and a pH of the dairy composition is not altered prior to the isomerization step, wherein the isomerization step is carried out at 21° C. for 2.5 hours;
- producing the diabetic-friendly dairy product with the treated dairy composition, the diabetic-friendly dairy product having a fructose content ranging from 0.3 wt % to 0.5 wt %, wherein the fructose content is a result of the isomerization step;
- and
- wherein the glucose produced in the hydrolysis step is not subjected to an oxidation step.
