  • Publication number: 20220400695
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for producing a peanut milk product, which includes subjecting a milk material to a hydrolysis reaction with lactase and transglucosidase to obtain a milk product, immersing peanut kernels in water to obtain swelled peanut kernels, subjecting the swelled peanut kernels to a steam cooking treatment to obtain steamed peanut kernels, and admixing the milk product with the steamed peanut kernels, followed by subjecting a mixture thus obtained to a heating treatment, so as to obtain the peanut milk product. A method for improving gut health using the peanut milk product and a canned food containing the peanut milk product are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140227393
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a functional fermented milk product with low acidity and containing a low content of lactose and enriched with galactooligosaccharide and Bifidobacterium, and functional fermented milk product prepared therewith. The process is characterized by converting lactose in milk materials to galactooligosaccharide before subjecting the milk materials to lactic fermentation. The process is further characterized by adding fructooligosaccharide to milk materials before subjecting the milk materials to lactic fermentation; the addition of fructooligosaccharide promotes growth of Bifidobacterium during lactic fermentation and increases the amount of galactooligosaccharide in the final product.

  • Patent number: 8337880
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tri-enzyme hydrolysis method for preparing an oligo-saccharide enhanced oat-based drink product useful in lowering cholesterol, triglyceride, blood sugar and improving gastrointestinal function which comprises not only oat ?-glucan and but also a higher amount of isomalto-oligosacchride. In accordance with the invention, whole grains of oats are micronized to an average particle size of 100 microns prior to enzyme treatments, and a product of creamy milk-like texture is obtained without filtration so that nutrients of the whole grains of oats are retained. This invention enhances the value of oat-based processing to yield additional health-associated content and illness (such as hyperlipidaemia and hyperglycemia) prevention efficacy that are beyond the potential of oats per se.

  • Publication number: 20120040051
    Abstract: Most milk products in the market are promoted in terms of their nutritional value, rather than the function thereof. For the few products claiming to have a special function, the function comes from substances added to the products rather than from the milk material per se. Some products are claimed to have low lactose content, but there are no milk products in the market that have both low lactose content and high galactooligosaccharide content. The invention is cost effective as compared with milk products with added functional substances. The subject invention relates to a process for production of a milk product enhanced with galactooligosaccharide, characterized in that lactase is used to treat milk raw materials. The subject invention further relates to the milk product of the process of the invention, whose galactooligosaccharide content is at function level.
