Abstract
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a milk-based product from which whey proteins such as beta lactoglobulm have been substantially removed, and to the use of such a product as a milk product to be heated in cooking.
Claims11
A method for manufacturing a milk-based product which does not scorch, the method comprising the following steps of:
- a) concentrating a milk raw material by microfiltration to provide an MF retentate fraction and an MF permeate fraction,
- b) ultrafiltrating the obtained MF permeate fraction to provide a UF retentate fraction and a UF permeate fraction,
- c) circulating at least a portion of the obtained UF permeate fraction back to the microfiltration as a diafiltration medium,
- d) recovering the MF retentate obtained from step c),
- e) if desired, heat-treating said MF retentate, hydrolysing its lactose, and/or standardizing the protein content,
- f) if desired, combining at least a portion of the MF retentate obtained in step d) or e) with the milk raw material,
- to provide a milk-based product having a β-lactoglobulin content of less than 0.10 g/100 g milk-based product.
