Embodiment 1

[0062] Example 1 - Preparation of decalcified dry MPC by ion exchange

[0063] As shown in Figure 1, skim milk was concentrated on an ultrafiltration (or microfiltration) membrane (Koch S4 HFK 131 type membrane with a nominal molecular weight filtration range of 10,000 Daltons) to prepare the MPC retentate. Depending on the concentration factors used, the MPC retentate has a protein content of 42-85% dry matter as milk protein.

[0064] For example, when 1000 kg of skim milk having the concentration shown in Table 1 is concentrated 2.5 times, 400 kg of MPC56 retentate and 600 kg of permeate will be obtained.

[0065] A part of 400kg of MPC56 retentate was used to reduce its pH from 6.8 to 5.9 with 3.3% citric acid. The acid was added to the retentate at 10°C while stirring the retentate continuously. For example, to produce 50% decalcified MPC56, the pH of 200 kg of the retentate was adjusted to 5.9. After 15 minutes, the pH of the retentate was remeasured. The pH of the pH...

Embodiment 2

[0075] Example 2 - Solubility

[0076] Four dried MPI samples with 85% milk protein were tested for solubility after a period of storage. After 1, 6, 15, 22 and 36 days, 5% (w / v) solutions were prepared in water respectively. After reconstitution to a 5% (w / v) solution at 20°C, the solution was centrifuged at 700 g for 10 minutes. The results are shown in Figures 2A and 2B. Three decalcified samples (33%, 50% and 83% decalcified) were stored at 20°C and they all showed about 100% solubility. The dried MPI sample as a control showed about 70-80% solubility at 1-6 days and decreased to about 50% at 15-36 days. Similar results were also obtained when stored at 40°C.

Embodiment 3

[0077] Example 3 - Making Cheese

[0078] Four samples of MPC with a milk protein content of 85% were tested during the cheese making process.

[0079] 3.6 kg of fresh skim milk was used as raw material, which contained 3.55% protein and 0.05% fat. To fresh skim milk preheated to 32.5°C was added whipping cream (400 grams) under moderate shear. The resulting milk solution contained 3.42% protein and 4.36% fat as determined by Milkoscan analysis.

[0080] The milk solution was divided into 4 portions. A different MPC containing 85% protein was added to each portion. One of them served as a control MPC without decalcification treatment. The recovery temperature is 6.5-8.5°C. The other three were calcium-depleted MPC, each containing 85% protein. The degrees of decalcification were 25%, 50% and 98%, respectively. For 33% decalcified MPCs, reconstitution was performed at 6.5-8.5°C. For 50% and 98% decalcified MPC, a temperature of 4.5-6.0°C was used.

Abstract

particular the invention relates to such dried concentrates which have been calcium-depleted to an extent which allows improvements in the use of dried milk protein concentrates in cheese manufacture. The invention includes a method of cheese manufacture comprising: (a) dispersing in milk a dried MPC or MPI having at least 70 % dry matter as milk protein; (b) treating the resulting mixture with one or more coagulating enzymes to produce a curd; and (c) processing the curd to make cheese; wherein the dried MPC or MPI is a calcium-depleted MPCF or MPI and the extend of calcium depletion is sufficient to allow manufacture of substantially nugget-free cheese.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a milk protein product, its production method and use, especially the use in cheese production. Background of the invention [0002] "Milk protein concentrate" (MPC) refers to a milk protein product in which 55%, preferably more than 75% of the dry matter is milk protein, and the ratio of casein to whey protein is close to that in milk. Such concentrates are known in the art. [0003] The term "milk protein isolate" (MPI) refers to a milk protein composition in which the ratio of casein to whey protein is substantially unchanged and in which the dry matter consists of more than 85% milk protein. Such isolates are also known in the art. [0004] These products differ from milk concentrates in that they have a high proportion of protein and a low proportion of fat and lactose. They differ from skim milk concentrate by being high in protein and low in lactose. [0005] One use of MPC and MPI is in cheese making. MPC a...
