Claims69
A substitute dairy food composition comprising:
- (i) a recombinant β-lactoglobulin protein and a κ-casein protein, wherein the recombinant β-lactoglobulin protein comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to an amino acid sequence of a wild-type mammalian β-lactoglobulin protein, and the κ-casein protein comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to an amino acid sequence of a wild-type mammalian κ-casein protein;
- (ii) ash;
- and
- (iii) optionally, one or more lipids,
- wherein:
- the recombinant β-lactoglobulin protein and the k-casein protein confer on the substitute dairy food composition one or more characteristics of a dairy food product selected from the group consisting of:
- taste, aroma, appearance, handling, mouthfeel, density, structure, texture, elasticity, springiness, coagulation, binding, leavening, aeration, foaming, creaminess and emulsification and
- the substitute dairy food composition does not comprise any other milk proteins than the recombinant β-lactoglobulin protein and the κ-casein protein in (i).

A powder food composition comprising:
- (i) a recombinant β-lactoglobulin protein and a κ-casein protein, wherein the recombinant β-lactoglobulin protein comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to an amino acid sequence of a wild-type mammalian β-lactoglobulin protein, and wherein the κ-casein protein comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to an amino acid sequence of a wild-type mammalian κ-casein protein;
- (ii) ash;
- and
- (iii) optionally, one or more lipids, wherein:
- the powder food composition does not comprise any other milk proteins other than the recombinant β-lactoglobulin protein lactoglobulin and the κ-casein protein in (i);
- and
- reconstitution of the powder food composition results in the production of a substitute dairy food composition, wherein the recombinant β-lactoglobulin protein and the k-casein protein confer on the substitute dairy food composition one or more characteristics of a dairy food product selected from the group consisting of:
- taste, aroma, appearance, handling, mouthfeel, density, structure, texture, elasticity, springiness, coagulation, binding, leavening, aeration, foaming, creaminess, and emulsification.
5 more elements
A supplemented dairy food composition comprising:
- (i) a mammalian-produced milk or a mammal-produced dairy food, and
- (ii) a recombinant β-lactoglobulin protein and a recombinant k-casein protein;
- wherein:
- the recombinant β-lactoglobulin protein comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to an amino acid sequence of a wild-type mammalian β-lactoglobulin protein, and the recombinant κ-casein protein comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to an amino acid sequence of a wild-type mammalian κ-casein protein;
- the recombinant β-lactoglobulin protein and the recombinant k-casein protein enhance in the supplemented dairy food composition one or more characteristics of a dairy food product selected from the group consisting of:
- taste, aroma, appearance, handling, mouthfeel, density, structure, texture, elasticity, springiness, coagulation, binding, leavening, aeration, foaming, creaminess, and emulsification;
- and
- the supplemented dairy food composition does not comprise any recombinant milk proteins other than the recombinant milk proteins in (ii).
