  • Heat sterilized high protein compositions with hydrolyzed protein from a continuous process with at least one endopeptidase
    Patent number: 10820618
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a heat sterilized composition comprising: a protein source in an amount of 5 to 20% by weight of the composition, said protein source comprising hydrolyzed protein; wherein the protein source has been treated in a continuous process with at least one endopeptidase, typically for a finite length of time. Furthermore, the invention concerns a heat sterilized high protein composition having low viscosity and being devoid of bitterness, comprising hydrolyzed heat sensitive protein source having a degree of protein hydrolysis in NPN/TN of 20 to 50% and at least one heat inactivated endopeptidase.

  • ACIDIFIED NUTRITIONAL FORMULA
    Publication number: 20110183038
    Abstract: A nutritional formula has a pH in the liquid state in the range from 4.8 to 5.2, which formula comprises, on a dry matter basis, lactic acid in an amount of not more than 1.35% and at least 0.5% of a salt of lactic acid (+)-lactic acid for preparing nutritional formulas with a pH in the range of 3.5 to 6.
