Abstract:
Embodiments of the present application describe fermented milk products having a fat content that is reduced compared to the fat content of natural milk and a random enzymatically de-esterified pectin having a degree of esterification in the range of about 10% to about 50%. In embodiments, the random enzymatically de- esterified pectins have a molecular weight of about 1 10 kDa to about 280 kDa. Also provided in embodiments of the present application are a process for preparing a fermented milk product having a fat content that is reduced compared to the fat content of natural milk including contacting a starting pectin material with an enzymatic catalyst capable of de-esterifying the starting pectin material to produce a randomly de-esterified pectin having a degree of esterification in the range of about 10% to about 50%, adding the randomly de-esterified pectin to a milk product having a fat content that is reduced compared to the fat content of natural milk, and fermenting the milk product to obtain the fermented milk product.

Abstract:
A method of heat-treating unpasteurized fresh milk, which after packing is distributed and stored at temperatures between 5 DEG C and 10 DEG C, and whereby the content of psychrotrophic, aerobic spores in the milk is reduced at least 10 times. The milk is directly heated by being injected into a steam atmosphere. Subsequently, the milk and the steam are held at a holding temperature of 130 DEG C to 145 DEG C for less than 1 sec. As a result, it is possible to produce at heat-treated milk maintaining good sensory properties simultaneously with possessing a long keeping ability.
