Patent number: 11116233Abstract: The invention pertains to a process for simultaneous producing an infant formula product and an acidic dairy product from defatted animal milk, comprising (a) processing the milk into a casein stream, a whey protein stream and a lactose stream, by: (i) subjecting the defatted animal milk to a filtration step over a microfiltration membrane capable of retaining bacteria and permeating milk proteins, to provide a debacterialized milk as permeate; (ii) subjecting the permeate originating from step (i) to a filtration step over a microfiltration membrane capable of retaining casein and permeating whey proteins, to provide a casein stream as retentate and a permeate comprising whey protein; (iii) fractionating the permeate originating from step (ii) into a whey protein stream and a lactose stream; (b) combining part of the casein stream, at least part of the whey protein stream originating from step (a) and a lactose source to obtain a recombined stream, wherein the lactose source comprises acid whey; (c) using thType: GrantFiled: August 8, 2017Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignees: Compagnie Gervais Danone, N.V.

Patent number: 11109605Abstract: The invention pertains to a process for simultaneous producing an infant formula product and a dairy product from defatted animal milk, comprising (a) processing the milk into a casein stream, a whey protein stream and a lactose stream by a combination of microfiltration and ultrafiltration, wherein the casein stream originates from the microfiltration as retentate, the whey protein stream originates from the ultrafiltration as retentate and the lactose stream originates from the ultrafiltration as permeate; (b) combining at least part of the whey protein stream originating from step (a) and a lactose source to obtain are combined stream; (c) using the recombined stream originating from step (b) in the manufacture of the infant formula product; and (d) using at least part of the casein stream originating from step (a) and defatted animal milk in the manufacture of the dairy product.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2017Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignees: Compagnie Gervals Danone, N.V.

Patent number: 10537117Abstract: The present invention relates to a product comprising: a container (1) having a volume Vc, sealed by a sealing (6), and a dairy composition (2), having a volume Vd, which is comprised in the sealed container, characterized in that the dairy composition comprises caseinomacropeptide (CMP) and 0.60<Vd/Vc<0.72. The dairy composition is preferably a fermented dairy composition. Preferably the dairy composition or fermented dairy composition comprises CMP at a concentration of at least 0.3%. Further claimed is a fermented dairy composition comprising CMP as well as the use of CMP as a foaming agent in fermented dairy compositions.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2015Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: COMPAGNIE GERVAIS DANONEInventors: Claire Queguiner, Sébastien Mercky, Eric Rodriguez

Publication number: 20050095316Abstract: The invention relates to a novel method for producing fermented milk products, according to which at least one casein of the milk, i.e. at least the kappa casein, is hydrolyzed by means of a coagulating enzyme of the milk, which has a bacterial origin, and the product is stirred after fermenting. The inventive method is particularly suitable for producing fermented milk products such as yogurt and fermented types of milk, wherein said products are provided with an improved texture, especially an improved proved viscosity, without causing syneresis or generating a bad taste.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2003Publication date: May 5, 2005Applicant: COMPAGNIE GERVAIS DANONEInventors: Nathalie De Greeftrial, Claire Queguiner, Fanny Grugier, Denis Paquet
