Abstract
The invention relates to textured milk proteins (TDP) that can be obtained by virtue of: (a) a mixture containing or consisting of (a1) milk proteins and (a2) a fibrous material and/or plant protein, wherein (b) said mixture is extruded in the presence of water and/or whey with a temperature gradient of approximately 20 to approximately 200° C. and a pressure in the range of 1 to approximately 200 bar being applied, and (c) the extrudate is subsequently expanded.
Claims9
A method for producing a texturized dairy protein (TDP), comprising the following steps:
- (a) providing a mixture consisting of
- (a1) a dairy protein, and
- (a2) a fiber material and/or plant protein,
- (b) extruding the mixture in the presence of about 50 to about 75 wt % of water and/or whey with application of a temperature gradient from about 20 to 40° C. at the inlet, via a peak temperature of about 160 to 200° C. in the middle, and a drop to about 100 to 140° C. at the outlet of the extruder, and with application of a pressure in the range from 1 to about 200 bar, and
- (c) depressurizing the extrudate.
