Claims29
A process for making a strained acidic dairy product comprising the steps of:
- step 1) preparing a liquid acidic carbohydrate-diluted dairy product having a carbohydrate concentration of at most 3.00% by weight of the total weight of the liquid acidic carbohydrate-diluted dairy product and a pH of at most 5.00, the step 1) comprising:
- step a) providing an initial dairy material comprising proteins and at least one carbohydrate, wherein the at least one carbohydrate comprises at least one of lactose, galactose, glucose, galacto-oligosaccharides, or mixtures thereof,
- step b) diluting by adding an aqueous carbohydrate dilution liquid, and
- step c) acidifying,
- step 2) separating the liquid acidic carbohydrate-diluted dairy product to produce products comprising:
- A) a strained acidic dairy product, having a reduced carbohydrate concentration, and
- B) an acid whey by-product,
- step 3) recovering the strained acidic dairy product, and optionally processing it to a further food from and/or mixing it with further food ingredients.
