Dairy based compositions with low lps

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method to produce a dairy based food composition with low LPS comprising the steps (a) Providing a milk with a storage time of less than 264 hours and either (b1) Treating the milk with a microfilter of poresize of from 0.01-2 μm such that at least a casein rich fraction and a serum protein rich fraction is obtained, or (b2) Treating the milk such that at least 98 wt % of the Gram negative bacteria is removed, and heating the milk wherein at least 98wt % of the Gram negative bacteria is removed to 60-90° C. The methods of the present invention are very suitable to provide a dairy based food composition wherein less than 5100 EU LPS per liter ready to use food composition is present or wherein less than 39 EU LPS per gram dry product is present.
