Medical dairy products are highly concentrated in proteins and minerals. Formulation of such products is challenging, since viscosities can easily increase during processing and storage. It was found that using one or more chelating agents selected from the group consisting of a phosphoric acid, citric acid, a soluble phosphate salt, a soluble citrate salt, or a mixture thereof, the viscosity and the transparency of an aqueous micellar casein composition, comprising 6 to 20 g / 100 ml of micellar casein and having a pH of about 6 to 8 could be controlled independently of each other.
