Abstract

A partially denatured whey protein product with a protein content of 65-95% by weight relative to the dry matter, a protein denaturization level of 55-80%, and a mean particle size in the range from 30 to 60 .mu.m, in particular 40-50 .mu.m. The product is suitable for use in foods as an additive with an emulsifying action and good organoleptic properties, particularly in cold-prepared emulsions.
