Abstract:
The disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for removing a yellow color of riboflavin in a lactose solution. The methods include exposing a lactose solution (e.g. milk) containing riboflavin to light under conditions that breakdown riboflavin comprised within the solution to thereby remove the yellow color of riboflavin. The conditions that breakdown include a specific wavelength of light (e.g. light having a wavelength of 360-475 nm) and a specific temperature range (e.g. a temperature of 0-80 °C). In certain embodiments, the duration of the treatment is such that the lactose solution is exposed to a total of 5-20 kW of light.
Abstract:
Изобретение относится к молочной промышленности. Способ производства молочного сахара предусматривает ультрафильтрацию обезжиренного молока или молочной сыворотки, нанофильтрацию пермеата, электродиализ до уровня деминерализации 90% от исходной зольности, сгущение, кристаллизацию лактозы, отделение кристаллов лактозы, их промывку и сушку, причем нанофильтрацию осуществляют по периодической схеме, начиная с фиксированного объема сырья, составляющего 15-20% от исходного объема сырья, с последующей подачей в выделенный объем оставшейся части сырья со скоростью, равной скорости отвода фильтрата, получаемого в процессе нанофильтрации. Изобретение позволяет повысить уровень деминерализации сырья до значений 0,52-0,60 без снижения производительности НФ-установки, сократить время последующей ЭД-обработки для достижения необходимого уровня деминерализации, получить уровень доброкачественности продукта 99,0-99,5%.
Abstract:
The invention pertains to powdered nutritional compositions comprising large lipid globules and micronized carbohydrate or carbohydrate microcrystals. Preferably the nutritional composition is an infant or follow on formula or a growing up milk. The invention also pertains to the use of micronized carbohydrate or carbohydrate microcrystals for improving flow and reducing cohesiveness of a powdered nutritional composition with large lipid globules.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of anhydrous lactose agglomerates, said process comprising (i) subjecting essentially anhydrous lactose primary part icles comprising at least 60 wt% crystalline -lactose in a granulator to a wet granulation step at a temperature in the range of 30 - 100 °C using a binder solut ion, wherein the granulation mass is subjected to drying for at least part of the granulation step, and (ii) after-drying the granulation mass. The anhydrous lactose agglomerates thus produced comprise at least 50 wt% -lactose crystallites and have a total water content in the range of 0 - 1.0 wt%, which is required according to the standards laid down by the Pharmacopoeia for anhydrous lactose excipients. These agglo merates combine have excellent compactibility and flowability properties and are particularly useful as excipient in moisture-sensitive applications.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a sweetener composition based on a combination of aspartame, acesulfame-K and thaumatin, comprising: 5 - 35 parts by weight of aspartame, 3 - 20 parts by weight of acesulfame-K, and 0.001 - 0.3 parts by weight of thaumatin. The weight ratio of aspartame to acesulfame-K is between 1 and 5.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for preparing a particulate, flowable, glucose product comprising spray drying glucose syrup together with recycled dry powdered glucose to form a particulate material, wherein said particulate material is passed into a first retention zone for a first crystallisation period, then into a drying zone and subsquently into a second retention zone for a second evaporation and crystallisation period, the resulting product being milled and sifted to produce a final glucose product together with dry powdered glucose which is recycled to be spray dried. Such a process results inthe production of a high quality, free-flowing, dried glucose product of uniform consistency.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process of producing a lactose concentrate, said process comprising the step of subjecting a partially demineralised aqueous lactose isolate to electrodialysis to produce a biotin-reduced lactose isolate containing at least 90% lactose by weight of dry matter and less than 2 mg ash per gram of lactose, and containing:. 0.02-1.5 mg sodium per gram of lactose;. 0.02-2 mg potassium per gram of lactose;. 0.05-1.5 mg chloride per gram of lactose;. 0.01-0.25 µg biotin per gram of lactose. The present invention also relates to a demineralised lactose concentrate having a reduced biotin content that can be produced by the aforementioned process. The invention further relates to an oligosaccharide-enriched biotin-reduced fraction that is obtained when lactose is separated before or after the electrodialysis step.
Abstract:
The invention is concerned with a batch method for obtaining crystallized lactose and arrangement configured for executing the method. The method comprises obtaining initially, from a lactose crystallization process, mother liquor and wash water generated in that process. The obtained mother liquor and wash water are collected and not discarded. Thereafter, the collected mother liquor and wash water are subjected to purification and concentration in a batch process contrary to the known continuous processes, performed independently of the lactose crystallization process. Aqueous solutions comprising lactose obtained as a result of the independent purification and concentration process accordingly, comprise reduced amounts of the impurities usually comprised in the by-products of the lactose crystallization process. The aqueous solution comprising lactose can then be collected and re-used as a lactose source in a lactose crystallization process, either on the same process equipment which supplied the original batch or on separate equipment. The method of the invention minimizes loss of lactose in one or more waste streams.
Abstract:
