The present invention provides a novel process for preparing fortified milk compositions from whole mammalian milk. The process of the present invention generally involves converting dried mammalian milk into a fats-enriched fraction, a protein-enriched fraction, and a carbohydrate-enriched fraction. The process comprises treating the dried milk with a fats extracting agent to provide a fats-enriched fraction, and a residual fraction comprising proteins and carbohydrates; separating said fats-enriched fraction from the residual fraction; and removing the fats extracting agent from the separated fats-enriched fraction to produce a dry fraction of oily, fats-enriched material and a fraction enriched in proteins and carbohydrates.
A process for converting dried mammalian milk into a separate fats-enriched fraction and a dry fraction enriched in proteins and carbohydrates, the process comprising the steps of:
A sterile protein-enriched fraction of mammalian milk, said fraction having components including immunoglobulins at levels of 90% or more of levels prior to sterilization.
A sterile carbohydrate-enriched fraction of mammalian milk, said fraction having components including immunoglobulins at levels of 90% or more of levels prior to sterilization.
