Abstract
A low-mineral quark matrix is suggested, which is obtainable by (a) subjecting raw milk to heat treatment, separating the cream, (b) subjecting the skimmed milk such obtained to an ultrafiltration step and/or a reverse osmosis step, producing a retentate R1, which represents a dairy protein concentrate, and a permeate P1, (c) subjecting the permeate P1 to an electrodialysis step, producing a salt-depleted diluate D1, (d) combining the diluate D1 with the retentate R1, (e) subjecting the combination product such obtained to heat treatment until denaturation sets in, (f) fermenting the denaturation product such obtained by the addition of starter cultures and rennet, and (g) adjusting or standardising the fermentation product such obtained to defined dry matter and protein contents.

A low-mineral quark matrix, obtained by
- (a) subjecting raw milk to heat treatment, and separating the cream, to obtain a skimmed milk,
- (b) subjecting the skimmed milk such obtained to an ultrafiltration step and/or a reverse osmosis step, producing a retentate R1, which represents a dairy protein concentrate, and a permeate P1,
- (c) subjecting the permeate P1 to an electrodialysis step, producing a salt-depleted diluate D1,
- (d) combining the diluate D1 with the retentate R1,
- (e) subjecting the combination product thus obtained to heat treatment until denaturation sets in,
- (f) fermenting the denaturation product thus obtained by the addition of starter cultures and rennet, and
- (g) adjusting or standardising the fermentation product thus obtained to defined dry matter and protein content.
A process for the production of a low-mineral quark matrix, comprising the following steps:
- (a) producing a skimmed milk by heat treatment of raw milk and separation of the cream;
- (b) subjecting the skimmed milk thus obtained to an ultrafiltration and/or reverse osmosis step, obtaining a retentate R1, which represents a dairy protein concentrate, and a permeate P1,
- (c) subjecting the permeate P1 to an electrodialysis step, obtaining a salt-depleted diluate D1,
- (d) combining the diluate D1 with the retentate R1,
- (e) heat treating the combination product thus obtained until denaturation sets in,
- (f) fermenting the denaturation product thus produced by adding starter culture and rennet, and
- (g) adjusting or standardising the fermentation product thus obtained to defined dry matter and protein content.
