Abstract: A process is suggested for the production of viscous foods exhibiting a reduced separation of liquids contained therein, comprising the following steps: (a) Providing a viscous mass having an amount of enclosed liquid therein, and (b) Filling the mass into the final packaging, characterised in that vibrational energy is introduced in to the mass during the filling process.

Abstract: A spreadable foodstuffs preparation is proposed comprising (a) a fresh cheese component and (b) a vegetable or herb preparation, wherein the components (a) and (b) are present side by side in a container such that they occupy three-dimensionally continuous volumes that do not mix.

Abstract: A quark base mix is proposed having enhanced taste properties, which is obtainable in that (a) raw milk is subjected to a temperature treatment and the cream is separated off in such a manner that a non-acidified quark base mix is formed, (b) the resultant mixture is subjected to a temperature treatment until denaturation occurs, (c) the denatured product is admixed with starter cultures and rennet and optionally (d) the quark base mix obtained after completion of fermentation is adjusted to a defined dry matter content and protein content, and, as starter culture, (i) a first mixture of five microorganisms comprising (i-1) Streptococcus thermophilus, (i-2) Leuconostoc species, (i-3) Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis, (i-4) Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis and (i-5) Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, and (ii) a second mixture of three microorganisms comprising (ii-1) Streptococcus thermophilus, (ii-2) Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis and (ii-3) Lactococcus lactis subsp.

Abstract: A quark base mix is proposed having enhanced taste properties which is obtainable in that (a) raw milk is subjected to a temperature treatment and the cream is separated off, (b) the resultant skimmed milk is subjected to an ultrafiltration and in this case a first retentate R1 which contains a milk protein concentrate is produced, and a first permeate P1 is produced, (c) the first permeate P1 is subjected to a nanofiltration and/or reverse osmosis and in this case a second retentate R2 which contains alkali metal salts is produced, and a second permeate P2 is produced, (d) optionally the second retentate R2 is subjected to an alkaline demineralization and in this case a third retentate R3 which contains phosphate salts is produced and a third permeate P3 is produced, (e) the third permeate P3 is combined with the retentate R1 in such a manner that a non-acidified quark base mix is formed, and (f) the resultant mixture is subjected to a temperature treatment until denaturation occurs, and finally (g) the den

Abstract: Suggested are starter cultures for the production of fermented milk products, containing (a) a first mixture of five microorganisms comprising (a1) Streptococcus thermophilus, (a2) Leuconostoc species, (a3) Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis, (a4) Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis und (a5) Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, and (b) a second mixture of three microorganisms comprising (b1) Streptococcus thermophilus, (b2) Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis und (b3) Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, as well as optionally (c) a third group of microorganisms comprising (c1) Bifido bakterium lactis B12, (c2) Lactobazillus acidophilus, (c3) Leuconostoc cremoris or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed are spreadable preparations, containing (a) about 72 to about 85% by weight of butter or a synthetic glyceride mixture having a similar fatty acid spectrum, (b) about 2 to about 5% by weight of a low-melting-point butter fraction, and (c) about 10 to about 26% by weight of a herb preparation, with the proviso that the amounts indicated add up to 100% by weight.
