  • Patent number: 8512775
    Abstract: A method for preparing a dairy product in a production line, includes a step of continuously injecting at least one sterol and/or stanol ester through the production line at a predetermined temperature T1 no lower than the melting point of the ester, and particularly at a temperature of 35-80° C., and into a dairy composition at a predetermined temperature T2 no lower than the temperature T1, which composition consists of an initial emulsifier-free milk-based composition containing milk proteins, to give a mixture, wherein the step of injecting at least one sterol and/or stanol ester is carried out before a step of homogenizing the mixture.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7553510
    Abstract: The invention concerns a stable homogeneous emulsifier-free suspension of at least one hydrophobic substance and/or a substance whereof the melting point is higher than about 130° C., and a thickening agent, in an aqueous medium. Said suspensions can be used in food compositions, in particular based on milk and milk derivatives.

  • Patent number: 6821543
    Abstract: The invention concerns fermented dairy products whereof the Dornic acidity ranges from 20 to 80° D, the pH from 4.5 to 5.5, flavored with a warm flavour such as chocolate, caramel, vanilla, coffee, burnt almond, nougat, walnut, hazelnut, almond, peanut, cashew nut. The dairy raw material is treated in order to reduce its mineral salts and/or its protein contents, then subjected to fermentation by a lactic ferment.
