  • lactose in the whey protein product of the invention is hydrolyzed into monosaccharides as is well known in the field. This can performed with commercially available lactase enzymes in a manner known per se.
  • the lactose hydrolysis is realized after the membrane filtrations on the composed whey protein product.
  • the lactose hydrolysis step and microfiltration step are initiated simultaneously with each other.
  • the lactose hydrolysis of the milk raw material is initiated prior to membrane filtration step.
  • the lactose hydrolysis can continue as long as the lactase enzyme is inactivated, for example by a heat treatment of a whey protein product composed at a later stage of various fractions received in the method of the invention (UF retentate and MF retentate).
  • Skim milk (1 000 L) is microfiltered by polymeric filtration membranes (Synder FR) having a pore size of 800 kDa.
  • the concentration factor of 95 is used, including a diafiltration step.
  • the concentration factor is calculated by Equation 1.
  • the amount of microfiltration retentate formed is 190 L having a dry matter content of 20.0%.
  • the permeate formed in the microfiltration (1 890 L) is further filtered by polymeric ultrafiltration (UF) membranes (Koch HFK-131) having a pore size of 10 kDa.
  • the permeate obtained from the ultrafiltration is further subjected to nanofiltration (NF) to give a NF retentate and permeate (130 L).
  • Ultrafiltration is performed by means of diafiltration using 130 L of the NF permeate above as diawater.
  • the total concentration factor of the ultrafiltration is 24 (Equation 1).
  • 100 L of ultrafiltration retentate and 1 920 L of ultrafiltration permeate are formed, of which 1 080 L is used for the diafiltration of the microfiltration.
  • the remaining ultrafiltration permeate (840 L) is nanofiltered by filtration membranes (Desal 5-DK) having a cut-off value of 200 Da.
  • the concentration factor of the nanofiltration is 4.25 (Equation 1), whereby 197 L of nanofiltration retentate and 644 L of nanofiltration permeate are formed, 130 L of the latter being used as diawater in the diafiltration of the ultrafiltration of the microfiltration permeate, as described above.
  • the residual nanofiltration permeate not used as diawater in the diafiltration of the ultrafiltration of the microfiltration permeate is used for other purposes or concentrated by reverse osmosis membranes (Koch HR) by using a concentration factor of 10 (Equation 1).
  • the amount of reverse osmosis permeate of the nanofiltration permeate formed is 500 L, of which 44 L is used as diawater in the diafiltration of the nanofiltration.
  • the amount of reverse osmosis retentate of the nanofiltration permeate formed is 55 L.
  • Skim milk (1 000 L) is subjected to a heat treatment at a temperature range of 65° C. to 95° C., for 15 seconds to 10 minutes in a heat treatment apparatus to selectively separate the whey protein ingredients.
  • the heat treatment of the skim milk influences the permeation of whey proteins in the microfiltration so that the microfiltration permeate is enriched with ⁇ -lactalbumin that is less thermolabile having denaturation degree of 0 to 26% while ⁇ -lactoglobulin is denaturated to a degree of 1 to 90%.
  • the milk is subjected to the filtration procedures as described in Example 1.
  • the proportion of ⁇ -lactalbumin of the total amount of ⁇ -lactalbumin and ⁇ -lactoglobulin (% by weight) in the microfiltration permeate was 38% (heat treatment of 75° C. for 30 seconds) to 45% (heat treatment of 90° C. for 30 seconds).
  • a whey protein product according to the invention was composed from the microfiltration retentate, ultrafiltration retentate and nanofiltration retentate of Example 1, milk mineral powder and water as shown in Table 1.
  • the whey protein to casein ratio of the product was 21:79 and the protein content was 52% on the dry matter basis.
