Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for producing buttermilk, comprising the steps of: providing raw cream having a fat content in the range of about 35% w/w to about 60% w/w; washing the raw cream with a washing liquid to provide a solution of the raw cream and the washing liquid; separating the washing liquid from the solution to provide washed cream with a reduced non-fat dry matter content; churning the washed cream to provide buttermilk having a content of phospholipids of at least 3% based on dry matter content, specifically at least 3.8%, more specifically at least 5.0%.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 19 . (canceled) 
     
     
         20 . Buttermilk having a content of phospholipids of at least 3% based on dry matter content. 
     
     
         21 . The buttermilk of  claim 20 , wherein the content of phospholipids is at least 3.8%. 
     
     
         22 . The buttermilk of  claim 20 , wherein the content of phospholipids is at least 5.0%. 
     
     
         23 . The buttermilk of  claim 20 , wherein the buttermilk has a ratio of phospholipids to protein of at least 122 mg/g protein. 
     
     
         24 . The buttermilk of  claim 20 , wherein the buttermilk has a ratio of phospholipids to protein of at least 180 mg/g protein. 
     
     
         25 . The buttermilk of  claim 20 , wherein the protein content of the buttermilk on dry matter basis is in the range of 9% to 33%. 
     
     
         26 . The buttermilk of  claim 20 , wherein the protein content of the buttermilk on dry matter basis is in the range of 17% to 33%. 
     
     
         27 . The buttermilk of  claim 20 , wherein the lactose content of the buttermilk on dry matter basis is at most 28%. 
     
     
         28 . Infant formula comprising buttermilk of  claim 20 . 
     
     
         29 . The infant formula of  claim 28 , wherein the infant formula has a total sialic acid content of less than 10 mg/100 g infant formula 
     
     
         30 . The infant formula of  claim 28 , wherein the infant formula has a total sialic acid content of less than 5 mg/100 g infant formula. 
     
     
         31 . The infant formula of  claim 28 , wherein the infant formula has a free sialic acid content of less than 1.0 mg/100 g infant formula. 
     
     
         32 . The infant formula of  claim 28 , wherein the infant formula has a total content of phospholipids of at least 50 mg/100 g infant formula. 
     
     
         33 . The infant formula of  claim 28 , wherein the infant formula has a total content of phospholipids of 72 mg/100 g infant formula. 
     
     
         34 . The infant formula of  claim 28 , wherein the infant formula has a content of phospholipids of 0.8% based on the fat content of the infant formula. 
     
     
         35 . The infant formula of  claim 28 , wherein the dry matter of the infant formula is about 12%. 
     
     
         36 . Infant formula comprising buttermilk of claim  17  and having a total sialic acid content of less than 10 mg/100 g infant formula and having a total content of phospholipids of at least 50 mg/100 g infant formula. 
     
     
         37 . The infant formula of  claim 20 , wherein the infant formula has a free sialic acid content of less than 1.0 mg/100 g infant formula. 
     
     
         38 . The infant formula of  claim 20 , wherein the dry matter of the infant formula is about 12%.
