Abstract: The present invention relates to a beverage composition comprising a beverage mix component and a milk powder, wherein at least part of the milk powder comprises caseins and whey proteins wherein the milk powder has a mean diameter value Dv50 of at least 1 pm as measured by laser diffraction. The invention also relates to a process for producing and dispensing such a beverage composition. A capsule holding such a composition is also taught.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a milk concentrate comprising caseins and whey proteins in the ratio of 90:10 to 60:40, wherein the caseins/whey protein aggregates have a volume based mean diameter value Dv50 of at least 1 ?m as measured by laser diffraction. The invention also relates to a process for preparing a milk concentrate comprising the steps of providing a liquid milk concentrate, adjusting pH to 5.7-6.4, heat treating for 3-300 s at 80-150° C. and cooling to <70° C. Also, the use of the milk concentrate for producing a ready-to-drink beverage, culinary sauces and concentrated milk concentrates is described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a milk powder comprising caseins and whey proteins wherein the powder upon reconstitution in an aqueous medium comprises casein-whey protein/fat aggregates having a mean diameter value Dv50 of at least 1 mycrom as measured by laser diffraction. The invention also relates to a process for preparing a milk powder including the steps of providing a liquid milk concentrate at T<25° C., adjusting pH to 5.7-6.4, heating at 80-150° C. for 3-300 s, cooling to below 70° C. and optionally readjusting the pH to between 6.5-6.8, drying the composition, and the milk powder obtained by this process for producing growing up milks, culinary sauces, coffee mixes, tea and coffee creamer or cocoa-malt beverages.
