Abstract
The present invention relates to superior dried whey protein products which have a flavor, aroma and color not possessed by conventionally spray dried whey protein products, as a result of having a lower concentration of oxidative by-products. Also provided are dried protein products wherein the protein is selected from the group consisting of whey protein, soy protein, milk protein and mixtures thereof. Also provided are methods for making the dried protein-based products which involve spraying a protein-containing feed stock into a localized cloud of a nonreactive gas under controlled temperature conditions.
