Abstract: The present invention relates to milk powder compositions comprising lactase and to processes for the manufacture of the milk powder compositions. The processes have been found to stabilize lactase in the milk powder compositions. It further relates to the use of the milk powder compositions in alleviating the symptoms of gastro-intestinal intolerance in mammals.

Abstract: The invention concerns a shelf stable spread that includes sweetened condensed milk of fat content 2 to 25% by weight and water content 15 to 35% by weight and at least one organoleptic modifying food substance added at a ratio ranging from 2% to 30% by weight and preferably 5% to 15% by weight wherein the spread is substantially free of emulsifiers and thickeners, is not caramelised and is thickened by shear so that it has a firmness corresponding to a maximum compression force of at least 20 g measured at 25° C. by a Texture Analyser equipped with a 5 kg load cell and a 20 mm diameter cylinder probe with a penetration into the sample at a constant speed 1 mm/s during 10 s.

Abstract: The present invention relates to soy-based aqueous concentrated food composition which are stable to cooking conditions, i.e. do not undergo decomposition or separation upon prolonged heat and/or acid treatment. The invention also relates to the use of partially hydrolysed soy protein to improve the stability of said compositions' and to a method for preparing a stable soy-based concentrated food composition.
