Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a fermented milk product, comprising contacting a milk substrate with an enzyme preparation having exopeptidase activity; contacting a milk substrate with lactic acid bacteria; wherein the lactic acid bacteria have a time to reach a pH of 4.6 of a solution of 12% skimmed milk powder which is at least 30% shorter in the presence 0.5% (w/w) of a yeast extract in the solution of 12% skimmed milk powder than without the presence of the yeast extract in the 12% skimmed milk powder, and wherein said enzyme preparation is a substantially pure exopeptidase preparation. Likewise envisaged is a fermented milk product comprising an enzyme having exopeptidase activity, a kit of parts comprising lactic acid bacteria and enzyme having exopeptidase activity and the use of an exopeptidase for accelerating acidification speed of lactic acid bacteria.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a strained fermented dairy product comprising the following successive steps: (a) providing a dairy product, (b) adding a lactase and a culture of bacteria comprising at least one strain of mesophilic lactic acid bacteria and at least one strain of thermophilic lactic acid bacteria and fermenting the dairy product to obtain a fermented dairy product, and (c) separating a liquid whey from the fermented dairy product to obtain a strained fermented dairy product. The present invention relates also to the use of a lactase for preventing the clogging of the separating device used in the preparation of a strained fermented dairy product.
Abstract:
The method for production of a milk like product is characterized by the fact that transglutaminase is added to a liquid containing milk proteins, that the liquid contains Ca , if required, in an amount sufficient for the reaction catalysed by the transglutaminase, and that the pH of the liquid is adjusted to a value of between 2.8 and 5.2. Hereby a milk like product which is physically more stable than the hitherto known milk like products is obtained. Also in case the milk like product is mixed with fruit juice, the thus generated drink remains stable and homogeneous.
Abstract:
A fermentation of a milk source with Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis (CNCM No. I-1962) to form a fermented milk product. The fermented milk product has a flavour and aroma. The fermented milk product can be in the form of a powder or a concentrate. The fermented milk product has applications in the food industry.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an instant yoghurt composition which comprises dry milk powder, dry rennet enzyme and a dried lactic acid culture.
