Abstract: The present invention pertains to a new type of high protein, fruit flavoured beverage comprising fruit flavouring agents and high protein denatured whey protein compositions, and to a method of producing the beverage. The invention particularly pertains to fruit flavoured beverages having a protein content of at least 4% (w/w). The invention furthermore relates to high protein fruit and/or vegetable preparations which e.g. are advantageous for the production of high protein, fruit- and/or vegetable-flavoured yoghurt. The invention also relates to food products containing the high protein fruit and/or vegetable preparations and to method for producing these.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a new type of CMP-containing, high protein denatured whey protein compositions and to a method of producing them. The invention furthermore pertains to products containing the high protein denatured whey protein compositions, particularly high protein, acidified dairy products, and additional uses of the denatured whey protein compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of making sliceable dairy product comprising milk and supplemental whey protein, an edible acid, and sodium chloride and/or sodium hydroxide, and the products obtainable by said methods.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for reducing off-flavour in milk-related products, said methods comprising the step of oxidizing lactose in a milk-related product to lactobionic acid. The invention further relates to methods of producing packaged, milk-related products, as well as milk-related products produced by the said methods.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to an improved process for production of nutritional products, such as e.g. infant formulas, containing milk protein and milk saccharide. The invention is par-ticularly useful for the production of demineralized nutritional products and provides both the final nutritional product as well as milk saccharide-containing milk protein serum ingredients useful for the production of such nutritional products.

Abstract: Oxygen is a major quality-deteriorating factor with respect to many food products in that it may cause the growth of molds and the development of rancid off-flavors, which reduce the quality or shelf life of many food products. The present invention provides an improved food packaging and a method for prolonging the shelf life and quality of packaged foods by packaging the food in a packaging material together with a microbial oxygen absorber, such as Lactococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Lactobacillus spp., Leuconostoc spp., Brevibacterium spp., Propionibacterium spp., and Bifidobacterium spp.

Abstract: The disclosed invention provides mammalian milk osteopontin and/or an active truncation or active peptide thereof for improving immune responsiveness to an infectious disease in a mammal, for example a human subject, as well as enhancing the efficacy of vaccination for the prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of an infectious disease in mammals, such as humans. The invention further provides a vaccine system, for use in the prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of an infectious disease in a mammal, comprising a vaccine and a mammalian milk osteopontin and/or an active truncation or active peptide thereof for oral administration to a mammal, as well as methods of enhancing immune resistance to an infectious disease in a mammal by administration of a vaccine and a mammalian milk osteopontin and/or an active truncation thereof.
