Abstract: The invention relates to a whey protein product having a ratio of whey protein to casein in the range from about 25:75 to about less than 50:50, a total protein content of at least 20% on dry matter basis, and a protein content of about 2.5 to about 8% by weight, based on the weight of the product. The product has a favourable amino acid composition and is especially suitable for athletes. The invention also relates to a method for producing a whey protein product, using microfiltration and ultrafiltration. The whey protein product is composed of the ultrafiltration retentate and a casein-containing material at a ratio of whey protein to casein of about 20:80 to about less than 50:50 and a total protein content of at least about 20% on dry matter basis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a low-energy, non-fat milk beverage of a high calcium content, the beverage containing a low-energy milk base which consists of non-fat milk, a whey protein solution or a combination thereof and from which carbohydrates have been removed either entirely or partly, and which is rich in calcium, and to a method for preparing the same.

Abstract: The invention relates to a whey salt product, which is not bitter in taste, and which is characterized by containing 19 to 27% potassium, 0.5 to 2% calcium, 5 to 7% sodium, 0.1 to 1% magnesium, 17 to 37% chloride and 0.5 to 3 % phosphorus and further 10 to 20% protein and 10 to 35% lactose, to a process for its production and its use as a table salt substitute. According to the invention, the whey salt powder is prepared in such a way that whey or an ultrafiltration. permeate with a dry matter content of 20% by weight at the most, obtained from milk or whey, is filtered through membranes by using nanofiltration membranes, the permeate with a dry matter content of 0.1 to 1.0% by weight obtained from nanofiltration is concentrated and finally dried to powder.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for cleaning a moving surface, for example a roller, wire or conveyor belt. The surface is cleaned by a doctor blade having several separate blades which move in a direction transverse to the surface to be cleaned so that the blades can be serviced and repaired during operation of the moving surface.

Abstract: A method for removing phenylalanine from proteinaceous compositions is disclosed wherein the protein contained in the proteinaceous composition is degraded enzymatically with a proteolytic enzyme into a protein hydrolysate. The protein hydrolysate thus obtained is treated with adsorption resin in a column that is eluted with water, the fraction wherefrom phenylalanine has been removed is recovered and salts are removed from the fraction thus recovered. Finally the recovered fraction is concentrated and dried. A palatable proteinaceous composition from which phenylalanine has been removed is also disclosed. This proteinaceous composition is used as a special nutrient preparation or a component of such in the diet of patients suffering from phenylketonuria.

Abstract: A process for removing at least a portion of salts contained in whey or a liquid based on whey by means of electrolysis while producing an acid mixture and a base mixture useful in food industries. In the process a four-compartment electrolytic cell is used in the electrolysis of the whey or the liquid based on whey. The four compartments between an anode and a cathode are separated from each other by means of ion exchange membranes and an independent liquid recirculation is connected with each one of the four compartments of the electrolytic cell. A three-compartment cell is disclosed, in which anodes and cathodes, except at the ends of the stack, are replaced by bipolar membranes. The modified cell is similarly used on cheese whey concentrate, to produce an acid solution and a base solution.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for accomplishing specific chromatographic separation of lactose from milk. Milk is treated in a column with a cation exchange resin balanced in such a manner that its cationic composition corresponds to the cationic composition of milk at a temperature of about 50.degree. to about 80.degree. C., and the column is eluted with water to recover a protein containing fraction and lactose fraction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition and method for ensiling fodder and grain. The composition contains glucose oxidase in a carrier medium in an amount effective to produce gluconic acid upon addition to the material to be ensiled. A suitable amount of glucose oxidase to be added is from 10,000 to 10,000,000 IU per ton of material to be ensiled.
