  • Patent number: 11206842
    Abstract: A low-bacteria milk powder with a WPNI of at least 2 is suggested, obtainable by (a) providing a milk component; (b) optionally, separating the cream from the milk component; (c) subjecting the milk component from which the cream had been optionally separated to microfiltration, obtaining a low-bacteria permeate P1 and a bacteria-contaminated retentate R1; (d) mixing the permeate with a liquid lipid phase and a solid active agent phase; (e) optionally, subjecting the mixture obtained in step (d) to a temperature treatment; and (f) processing the mixture of step (d) or (e) that had optionally been temperature-treated, obtaining a dry powder.

  • Patent number: 10638772
    Abstract: A demineralised whey powder is suggested which is obtainable by: (a) Separating raw milk, removing the cream; (b) Subjecting the skimmed milk such obtained to microfiltration or microdiafiltration, obtaining a whey protein-rich permeate P1 and a retentate R1 containing casein and GMP in the process; (c) Subjecting the permeate P1 to column chromatography separation, in which the lactoferrin contained therein remains on the column; (d) Subjecting the permeate, from which lactoferrin had been removed, to dialysis; and (e) Dehydrating the diluate such obtained.
