Abstract
Methods of producing substitute dairy food product that include animal-free protein and a liquid dairy side stream such as milk permeate, whey permeate or acid whey. The methods include preparing an aqueous protein solution using a recombinant protein and/or preparing a fat base using a recombinant protein and plant fat and combining the protein solution or the fat base, respectively, with a milk permeate or whey permeate or acid whey to thereby produce a substitute dairy food product. Such substitute dairy food products can be further optimized with food additives, nutrients, minerals, bacterial cultures, or enzymes to produce dairy food analogues that substantially mimic animal-derived dairy foods.
Claims35
A food composition, the food composition comprising:
- one or more proteins, wherein the one or more proteins comprise one or more recombinant milk proteins and/or one or more plant proteins;
- and
- a liquid dairy side stream comprising a permeate from milk, a permeate from whey, or an acid whey, wherein the permeate from milk, the permeate from whey or the acid whey comprises water, sugar, and minerals, wherein the water, sugar, and minerals comprise about 1% w/w to about 10% w/w total solids, about 0.01% w/w to about 0.1% w/w sodium, about 1% w/w to about 10% w/w lactose, about 0.05% w/w to about 0.5% w/w potassium, and about 0.01% w/w to about 0.5% w/w calcium.

A method of producing a dairy substitute food composition, the method comprising:
- providing one or more non-animal proteins;
- providing a liquid dairy side stream, the liquid dairy side stream being derived from mammalian milk, the liquid dairy side stream comprising water, sugar, and minerals;
- and
- mixing and dispersing the non-animal protein with the liquid dairy side stream to obtain a base composition for the dairy substitute food composition.
