Abstract

A dried blend of deproteinized whey by-product and casein or its salts is produced by forming an admixture of 5 to 50% of casein, sodium caseinate or potassium caseinate and a deproteinized whey by-product selected from the group consisting of (1) the low molecular weight fraction obtained by gel fractionation of whey, (2) the permeate resulting from the ultrafiltration concentration of whey and (3) the delactosed permeate resulting from the ultrafiltration concentration of whey, and drying the admixture, preferably by spray drying. The dried blend has reduced hygroscopicity, and is useful in food products as a flavor enhancing agent, flavor agent or binding agent.
