US 9,861,121 B2 · Milk basic protein composition and production process therefor

Abstract

The present invention provides a protein composition comprising a milk basic protein fraction; and at least one stabilizer selected from the group consisting of soybean polysaccharides, xanthan gum, pectin, gum arabic, gum ghatti, carrageenan, locust bean gum, sodium caseinate, lecithin, and carboxymethylcellulose. The protein composition significantly improves the heat resistance of the milk basic protein fraction. The present invention achieves heat treatment of a protein composition and food, beverage, feed, and pharmaceutical comprising such a protein composition at a temperature exceeding 90° C. without deactivation of the milk basic protein fraction.

Dependent claims

A thermally stable protein composition comprising:

a) a milk basic protein fraction;
and
b) an amount effective for thermal stabilization of the milk basic protein fraction of at least one stabilizer selected from the group consisting of soybean polysaccharides, xanthan gum, pectin, gum arabic, gum ghatti, carrageenan, locust bean gum, sodium caseinate, lecithin, and carboxymethylcellulose wherein the thermal stabilization is stability of the milk basic protein fraction after heating to 90° C. for 4 minutes at a pH from 2 to 9, and wherein the milk basic proteins do not aggregate during the heating step.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
