Low-Calorie Milk Products

Patent No. EP2152087 (titled "Low-Calorie Milk Products") was filed by Friesland Brands on May 5, 2008. The application was issued on Apr 1, 2020.

Patent Summary

A method to make low-calorie milk products that have reduced lactose, are visually appealing, and taste good. The method involves filtering skim milk through microfiltration with a pore size between 100-500 nm to concentrate the casein and reduce lactose. The concentrated milk is then diluted and flavored to taste, with added salt, sweeteners, and dietary fibers as desired. This creates a low-calorie milk product with improved taste and mouthfeel compared to regular skim milk.
